New checks and subtleties for AdS/CFT and a-maximization
M. Bertolini, F. Bigazzi, A. L. Cotrone
We provide a cross-check of AdS/CFT and a-charge maximization for a four dimensional =1 SCFT with irrational R-charges. The gauge theory is the low energy effective theory of N…
Wilson Loop, Regge Trajectory and Hadron Masses in a Yang-Mills Theory from Semiclassical Strings
F. Bigazzi, A. L. Cotrone, L. Martucci +1
We compute the one-loop string corrections to the Wilson loop, glueball Regge trajectory and stringy hadron masses in the Witten model of non supersymmetric, large-N Yang-Mills the…
Semiclassical spinning strings and confining gauge theories
F. Bigazzi, A. L. Cotrone, L. Martucci
We study multi-charged rotating string states on Type IIB regular backgrounds dual to confining SU(N) gauge theories with (softly broken) {\cal N}=1 supersymmetry, in the infra red…
PP-waves and softly broken N=1 SYM
F. Bigazzi, A. L. Cotrone
We review the Penrose limit of the Type IIB dual of softly broken N=1 SYM in four dimensions obtained as a deformation of the Maldacena-Nunez background. We extract the string spec…
On the Universality Class of Certain String Theory Hadrons
G. Bertoldi, F. Bigazzi, A. L. Cotrone +2
Exploiting the gauge/gravity correspondence we find the spectrum of hadronic-like bound states of adjoint particles with a large global charge in several confining theories. In par…
