Gravitational theories including negative cosmological constant, dilaton and gauge fields are explored in higher dimensions, in which black hole solutions are shown to exist and their asymptotic behaviors are obtained. Based on these solutions, effective Randall–Sundrum brane worlds are constructed. In the framework of gauge/gravity duality, effects from cosmological constant on the spectra of standard model fields on the branes are perturbatively calculated.

Abstract We study de Sitter configurations in ten-dimensional string models where supersymmetry is either absent or broken at the string scale. To this end, we derive expressions for the cosmological constant in general warped flux compactifications with localized sources, which yield no-go theorems that extend previous works on supersymmetric cases. We frame our results within a dimensional reduction and connect them to a number of Swampland conjectures, corroborating them further in the absence of supersymmetry. Furthermore, we construct a top-down string embedding of de Sitter brane-world cosmologies within unstable anti-de Sitter landscapes, providing a concrete realization of a recently revisited proposal.

We perform a direct test of the gauge/gravity duality by studying one-dimensional U (N) gauge theory with 16 supercharges at finite temperature using Monte Carlo simulation. In the 't Hooft large-N limit and in the strong coupling limit, the model is expected to have a dual gravity description in terms of the near-extremal black 0-brane solution in ten-dimensional type IIA supergravity. Our results provide the first example, in which the microscopic origin of the black hole thermodynamics is accounted for by solving explicitly the strongly coupled dynamics of the open strings attached to the D-branes.

The lattice studies of maximally supersymmetric Yang-Mills (MSYM) theory at strong coupling and large N is important for verifying gauge/gravity duality. Due to the progress made in the last decade, based on ideas from topological twisting and orbifolding, it is now possible to study these theories on the lattice while preserving an exact supersymmetry on the lattice. We present some results from the lattice studies of two-dimensional MSYM which is related to Type II supergravity. Our results agree with the thermodynamics of different black hole phases on the gravity side and the phase transition (Gregory–Laflamme) between them.

The duality conjecture states that [Formula: see text]-dimensional maximally supersymmetric Yang–Mills theory at finite temperature is expected to be dual to the non extremal black [Formula: see text]-brane at large N. We perform the lattice simulations of SYM for [Formula: see text] to investigate the validity of the conjecture. We show that the conjecture is qualitatively valid by comparing lattice results of the black [Formula: see text]-branes mass with analytic expectations in the gravity side.

This article, based on the Klein lecture, contains some new results and new speculations on various topics. They include discussion of open strings in the AdS space, unusual features of D-branes, conformal gauge theories in higher dimensions. We also comment on the infrared screening of the cosmological constant and on the ''brane worlds.''

We develop a new description of curved manifolds that represent a topological phase for the usual Levi-Civita connection and a dynamical phase for the torsion, being the only part of the connection that generates curvature. The holonomy group structure of such manifolds is studied, and different expressions of the torsion in terms of gauge fields are considered with the purpose to describe different dynamical scenarios. Additionally some models of torsion interacting with fermions are constructed; specifically a four-dimensional model that mimics an usual fermion-gauge fields system is considered; this model undergoes parity symmetry breaking with a dynamical background. Since these manifolds represent new gravitational backgrounds, we speculate on possible applications in the study of qualitative and quantitative aspects of the gauge/gravity duality.

Abstract In gauge/gravity duality, the bulk double cone geometry has been argued to account for a key feature of the spectral form factor known as the ramp. This feature is deeply associated with quantum chaos in the dual field theory. The connection with the ramp has been demonstrated in detail for two-dimensional theories of bulk gravity, but it appears natural in higher dimensions as well. In a general bulk theory the double cone might thus be expected to dominate the semiclassical bulk path integral for the boundary spectral form factor in the ramp regime. While other known spacetime wormholes have been shown to be unstable to brane nucleation when they dominate over known disconnected (factorizing) solutions, we argue below that the double cone is stable to semiclassical brane nucleation at the probe-brane level in a variety of string- and M-theory settings. Possible implications for the AdS/CFT factorization problem are briefly discussed.

After reviewing how M-theory subsumes string theory, I report broadly on some new and interesting developments, focusing on the "brane world": circumventing no-go theorems for supersymmetric brane-worlds, complementarity of the Maldacena and Randall-Sundrum pictures; self-tuning of the cosmological constant. I conclude with the top ten unsolved problems.

We present an overview of recent developments in numerical relativity studies of higher dimensional spacetimes with a focus on time evolutions of black hole (BH) systems. After a brief review of the numerical techniques employed for these studies, we summarize results grouped into the following three areas: (i) numerical studies of fundamental properties of BHs, (ii) applications of BH collisions to the modeling of Trans-Planckian scattering and (iii) numerical studies of asymptotically anti-de Sitter spacetimes in the context of the gauge-gravity duality.
