Strings on pp-waves and Hadrons in (softly broken) N=1 gauge theories
R. Apreda, F. Bigazzi, A. L. Cotrone
We study the Penrose limit of Type IIB duals of softly broken N=1 SU(N) gauge theories in four dimensions, obtained as deformations of the Maldacena-Nunez and Klebanov-Strassler ba…

On zero-point energy, stability and Hagedorn behavior of Type IIB strings on pp-waves
F. Bigazzi, A. L. Cotrone
Type IIB strings on many pp-wave backgrounds, supported either by 5-form or 3-form fluxes, have negative light-cone zero-point energy. This raises the question of their stability a…

Supergravity duals of supersymmetric four dimensional gauge theories
F. Bigazzi, A. L. Cotrone, M. Petrini +1
This article contains an overview of some recent attempts at understanding supergravity and string duals of four dimensional gauge theories using the AdS/CFT correspondence. We dis…
