Brane probes and gauge theory/gravity dualities

We examine the use of branes as probes of supergravity geometries which arise in the study of gauge theory/gravity dualities. We investigate the moduh spaces of supersymmetric gauge theories through moduh spaces of brane probes in the dual gravity theories. Preferred coordinate systems emerge in whi...
