Supermagnets and Sigma models
A. M. Polyakov
We discuss new methods for non-compact sigma models with and without RR fluxes. The methods include reduction to one dimensional supermagnets, supercoset constructions and supertwi…
Confinement and Liberation
A. M. Polyakov
This is a review of topics which haunted me for the last 40 years, starting with spontaneous symmetry breaking and ending with gauge/string/space-time correspondence. While the fir…
Conformal Fixed Points of Unidentified Gauge Theories
A. M. Polyakov
In this article we discuss gauge/strings correspondence based on the non-critical strings. With this goal we present several remarkable sigma models with the AdS target spaces. The…
String theory as a universal language
A. M. Polyakov
This article, based on the Klein lecture, contains some new results and new speculations on various topics. They include discussion of open strings in the AdS space, unusual featur…
Dynamics of (n, 1) Strings
S. Gukov, I. R. Klebanov, A. M. Polyakov
An string is a bound state of a D-string and fundamental strings. It may be described by a D-string with a world volume electric field turned on. As the electric field…
String Theory and Quark Confinement
A. Polyakov
This article is based on a talk given at the ``Strings'97'' conference. It discusses the search for the universality class of confining strings. The key ingredients include the loo…
