Thesis (Ph.D.)--Stanford University, 2005.

This thesis covers a number of topics in string theory focusing on various aspects of the AdS/CFT duality in various guises and regimes. In the first chapter we present a self-contained review of the Plane-wave/super-Yang-Mills duality. This duality is a specification of the usual AdS/CFT correspondence in the "Penrose limit".

520 $a This thesis covers a number of topics in string theory focusing on various aspects of the AdS/CFT duality in various guises and regimes. In the first chapter we present a self-contained review of the Plane-wave/super-Yang-Mills duality. This duality is a specification of the usual AdS/CFT correspondence in the "Penrose limit".
520 $a In chapter two we study the most general parallelizable pp-wave backgrounds which are non-dilatonic solutions in the NS-NS sector of type IIA and IIB string theories. We demonstrate that parallelizable pp-wave backgrounds are necessarily homogeneous plane-waves, and that a large class of homogeneous plane-waves are parallelizable, stating the necessary conditions. Quantization of string modes, their compactification and behaviour under T-duality are also studied, as are BPS Dp-branes on such backgrounds.
520 $a In chapter three we consider giant gravitons on the maximally supersymmetric plane-wave background. We deduce the low energy effective light-cone Hamiltonian of the three-sphere giant graviton, and place sources in this effective gauge theory. Although non-vanishing net electric charge configurations are disallowed by Gauss' law, electric dipoles can be formed. From the string theory point of view these dipoles can be understood as open strings piercing the three-sphere, giving a two dimensional (worldsheet) description of giant gravitons.
520 $a Chapter four presents some new ideas regarding the relation between super-conformal gauge theories and string theories with three-dimensional target spaces, possible relations of these systems to Hamiltonian lattice gauge theories, and integrable spin chains. We consider N = 1, D = 4 superconformal SU( N)px q Yang-Mills theories dual to AdS5 x S5/Zp x Zq orbifolds. We show that a specific sector of this dilatation operator can be thought of as the transfer matrix for a three-dimensional statistical mechanical system, which in turn is equivalent to a 2 + 1-dimensional string theory where the spatial slices are discretized on a triangular lattice, and comment on the integrability of this N = 1 gauge theory, its connection to three-dimensional lattice gauge theories, extensions to six-dimensional string theories, AdS/CFT type dualities and finally their construction via orbifolds and brane-box models. In the process we discover a new class of almost-BPS BMN type operators with large engineering dimensions but controllably small anomalous corrections.
