Spiky strings and the AdS/CFT correspondence
(University of CambridgeDepartment of Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics, 2011-10-11)In this dissertation, we explore some aspects of semiclassical type IIB string theory on AdS3 × S1 and on pure AdS3 in the limit of large angular momentum S. We first focus on the integrability technique known as ...
