Exact Results in Gauge Theories
(University of Waterloo, 2015-10-23)This thesis is devoted to the study of observables in the four dimensional superconformal N = 4 Yang-Mills theory. We will be focused on the problem of computing higher point correlation functions, scattering amplitudes ... -
On the Robustness of Holographic Dualities: AdS Black Holes and Quotient Spaces
(University of Waterloo, 2018-08-10)This dissertation is a collection of works on different topics based on holographic dualities. The dualities studied here are the Kerr/CFT and AdS/CFT correspondence and the researches carried on aim to check their robustness ... -
Quantum critical responses via holographic models and conformal perturbation theory
(University of Waterloo, 2017-06-15)We investigate response functions near quantum critical points, allowing for finite temperature and a mild deformation by a relevant scalar. When the quantum critical point is described by a conformal field theory, we use ... -
Quantum quenches and the holographic duality.
(University of Waterloo, 2015-01-08)We study quantum quenches in a strongly coupled conformal field theory, using the gauge/gravity duality. In the first part of the thesis, we consider a perturbative thermal quench of a field theory in four spacetime ...
