Semi-classical Strings in Sasaki-Einstein Manifolds
Dimitrios Giataganas
We find point-like and classical string solutions on the AdS_5 x X^5, where X^5 are the 5-dimensional Sasaki-Einstein manifolds Ypq and Lpqr. The number of acceptable solutions is…

UV-divergences of Wilson Loops for Gauge/Gravity Duality
Chong-Sun Chu, Dimitrios Giataganas
We analyze the structure of the UV divergences of the Wilson loop for a general gauge/gravity duality. We find that, due to the presence of a nontrivial NSNS B-field and metric, ne…

Near BPS Wilson Loop in beta-deformed Theories
Chong-Sun Chu, Dimitrios Giataganas
We propose a definition of the Wilson loop operator in the N=1 beta-deformed supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory. Although the operator is not BPS, it has a finite expectation value a…
