Dualities, Symmetries and Unbroken Phases in String Theory : Probing the Composite Nature of the String

Dualities, Symmetries and Unbroken Phases in String Theory : Probing the Composite Nature of the String

The thesis treats aspects of string/M-theory in anti-de Sitter spacetimes and their supersymmetric completions. By applying the AdS/CFT correspondence, as well as models of spin chains and singletons, we try to attain a better understanding of the underlying symmetries and the unbroken phases of str...
