Matching gauge theory and string theory in a decoupling limit of AdS/CFT

Troels Harmark, Kristjan R. Kristjansson, Marta Orselli

We identify a regime of the AdS/CFT correspondence in which we can quantitatively match N=4 super Yang-Mills (SYM) for small 't Hooft coupling with weakly coupled type IIB string t…

Decoupling limits of N=4 super Yang-Mills on R x S^3

Troels Harmark, Kristjan R. Kristjansson, Marta Orselli

We find new decoupling limits of N=4 super Yang-Mills (SYM) on R x S^3 with gauge group SU(N). These decoupling limits lead to decoupled theories that are much simpler than the ful…

Entropy of Three-Charge Black Holes on a Circle

Troels Harmark, Kristjan R. Kristjansson, Niels A. Obers +1

We study phases of five-dimensional three-charge black holes with a circle in their transverse space. In particular, when the black hole is localized on the circle we compute the c…

The Hagedorn temperature in a decoupled sector of AdS/CFT

Troels Harmark, Kristjan R. Kristjansson, Marta Orselli

We match the Hagedorn/deconfinement temperature of planar N=4 super Yang-Mills (SYM) on R x S^3 to the Hagedorn temperature of string theory on AdS_5 x S^5. The match is done in a…

Magnetic Heisenberg-chain/pp-wave correspondence

Troels Harmark, Kristjan R. Kristjansson, Marta Orselli

We find a decoupling limit of planar N=4 super Yang-Mills (SYM) on R x S^3 in which it becomes equivalent to the ferromagnetic XXX_{1/2} Heisenberg spin chain in an external magnet…
