AdS/CFT correspondence and Geometry
Ioannis Papadimitriou, Kostas Skenderis
In the first part of this paper we provide a short introduction to the AdS/CFT correspondence and to holographic renormalization. We discuss how QFT correlation functions, Ward ide…
Black holes and branes in string theory
Kostas Skenderis
This is a set of introductory lecture notes on black holes in string theory. After reviewing some aspects of string theory such as dualities, brane solutions, supersymmetric and no…
Brane intersections, anti-de Sitter spacetimes and dual superconformal theories
Harm Jan Boonstra, Bas Peeters, Kostas Skenderis
We construct a class of intersecting brane solutions with horizon geometries of the form adS_k x S^l x S^m x E^n. We describe how all these solutions are connected through the addi…
The equivalence between the operator approach and the path integral approach for quantum mechanical non-linear sigma models
Jan de Boer, Bas Peeters, Kostas Skenderis +1
We give background material and some details of calculations for two recent papers [1,2] where we derived a path integral representation of the transition element for supersymmetri…
On the Hamiltonian Approach and Path Integration for a Point Particle Minimally Coupled to Electromagnetism
K. Skenderis, P. van Nieuwenhuizen
We {\em derive} the exact configuration space path integral, together with the way how to evaluate it, from the Hamiltonian approach for any quantum mechanical system in flat space…
