Aspects of gauge/string theory duality : BMN correspondence and MHV rules

One of the most striking examples of duality correspondence between gauge theories and string theories is the AdS/CFT duality. It relates the type IIB superstring theory on AdS5 x 5 5 to 4-dimensional N = 4 Yangs Mills in its superconformal phase. However, the quantisation of string theory on curved...
