"Massive" Higher Spin Multiplets and Holography
M. Bianchi, V. Didenko
We review the extrapolation of the single-particle string spectrum on AdS(5)xS(5) to the Higher Spin enhancement point and the successful comparison of the resulting spectrum with…
Instantons and BPS Wilson loops
Massimo Bianchi, Michael B. Green, Stefano Kovacs
The one-instanton contribution to a circular BPS Wilson loop in N=4 SU(2) Yang--Mills theory is evaluated in semiclassical approximation. This article amplifies part of a talk give…
Yang-Mills instantons vs. type IIB D-instantons
Massimo Bianchi, Stefano Kovacs
We report on the computation of the one-instanton contribution to the 16-point Green function of fermionic composite operators in N=4 Super YM theory. The remarkable agreement, ini…
Type I Superstrings without D-branes
Massimo Bianchi
Notwithstanding the central role of D-branes in many recently proposed string dualities, several interesting type I vacua have been found without resorting directly to D-brane tech…
