Obiettivo del progetto (Objective)
'This proposal concerns research in the direction of finding string theory duals for gauge theories beyond the N = 4 universality class; theories that have genuinely less supersymmetry and unquenched flavor. Arguably, the next simplest example after N= 4 SYM is N=2 SU(N_c) SYM coupled to N_f=2N_c fundamental hypermultiplets. The theory admits a Veneziano expansion of large N_c and large N_f, with N_f/N_c and `t Hooft coupling g^2 N_c kept fixed. The topological structure of large N diagrams motivates a general conjecture: the flavorâ€singlet sector of a gauge theory in the Veneziano limit is dual to a closed string theory.
In recent studies, we explored the chiral spectrum of protected operators of the theory and we found that the string dual is an eight dimensional subâ€critical background containing both an AdS_5 and an S^1 factor. Moreover, we mapped the gauge theory dilatation operator in the scalar sector to the Hamiltonian of a novel spin chain and addressed the question of its integrability.
Continuing this line of research, we propose working towards further establishing this new paradigm of the N=2 superconfomal QCD. Moreover, by using the same tools, we propose searching for new, interesting for phenomenological applications, dual pairs. Finally, our intention is to apply these new AdS/CFT paradigms to phenomenologically related questions.'
