Introduction to AdS-CFT
Horatiu Nastase
These lectures present an introduction to AdS-CFT, and are intended both for begining and more advanced graduate students, which are familiar with quantum field theory and have a w…
Gluon scattering in Super Yang-Mills at finite temperature
Katsushi Ito, Horatiu Nastase, Koh Iwasaki
We extend the AdS/CFT prescription of Alday and Maldacena to finite temperature , defining the amplitude for gluon scattering in Super Yang-Mills at strong coupling…
Comments on gluon 6-point scattering amplitudes in N=4 SYM at strong coupling
Dumitru Astefanesei, Suguru Dobashi, Katsushi Ito +1
We use the AdS/CFT prescription of Alday and Maldacena \cite{am} to analyze gluon 6-point scattering amplitudes at strong coupling in SYM. By cutting and gluing we obt…
D=4 Einstein gravity from higher D CS and BI gravity and an alternative to dimensional reduction
Horatiu Nastase
An alternative to usual dimensional reduction for gravity is analyzed, in the vielbein-spin connection formulation. Usual 4d Einstein gravity plus a topological term (the "Born-Inf…
A "black hole" solution of scalar field theory
Horatiu Nastase
A black hole-like solution to a toy model scalar field action for the pion is presented. It has a "horizon" that traps pion field information (it cannot escape in finite time) and…
