21. Non-conformal gauge/string duality : A rigorous case study
Abstract : The gauge/string duality, a.k.a. the holographic principle is a profound assertion that emerged from string theory. READ MORE

22. Supersymmetry, branes and the mysterious M
Abstract : String theory is the only known theory that unifies general relativity and quantum mechanics in a consistent way. In recent years there has been a dramatic progress in the understanding of the non-perturbative aspects of string theory. It is now believed that string theory is part of a larger theory called M-theory. READ MORE

23. Aspects of Wrapped Branes in String and M-Theory
Abstract : This thesis consists of an introductory text together with five appended research papers. The Ariadne's thread through the whole thesis is various effects coming from high-dimensional p-branes in various subsectors of string and M-theory. READ MORE

24. From Branes to Brains : On M-theory and Understanding Thermodynamics
Abstract : This thesis is concerned with research in both physics and physics education, and is divided into two parts.Part IString theory has been the leading candidate over the past few years for a theory that unifies all the fundamental forces of nature. READ MORE

25. Conformal Field Theory Deformations and Supersymmetric D-brane Actions
Abstract : Over the past few years a dramatic progress in understanding non-perturbative phenomena in string theory has occurred. This is commonly referred to as the second string revolution. This thesis, consisting of an introduction and five appended research papers (I-V), deals with pre-revolutionary as well as post-revolutionary aspects of string theory. READ MORE
