  • Aspects of fluid dynamics and the fluid/gravity correspondence 

    Thillaisundaram, Ashok (University of CambridgeDAMTPTrinity, 2017-09-01)
    This thesis considers various extensions to the fluid/gravity correspondence as well as problems fundamental to the study of fluid dynamics. The fluid/gravity correspondence is a map between the solutions of the Navier-Stokes ...

  • Aspects of higher dimensional Einstein theory and M-theory 

    Godazgar, Mohammad Mahdi (University of CambridgeDepartment of Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics, 2012-10-09)
    This thesis contains two main themes. The first is Einstein's theory of general relativity in higher dimensions, while the second is M-theory. The first part of the thesis concerns the use of classification techniques ...

  • Spiky strings and the AdS/CFT correspondence 

    Losi, Manuel (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 ...
