TL;DR
This thesis explores gauge/gravity duality focusing on renormalization group flows, phase transitions, and instabilities in non-supersymmetric AdS backgrounds, providing new insights into their stability and phase structure.
Contribution
It introduces new unpublished findings on instabilities in weakly curved non-supersymmetric AdS4 M-theory backgrounds, expanding understanding of their holographic properties.
Findings
Identified instabilities in non-supersymmetric AdS4 backgrounds
Analyzed phase transitions of holographic entanglement entropy
Examined various aspects of gauge/gravity duality
Abstract
This is a copy of the 2009 Princeton University thesis which examined various aspects of gauge/gravity duality, including renormalization group flows, phase transitions of the holographic entanglement entropy, and instabilities associated with the breaking of supersymmetry. Chapter 5 contains new unpublished material on various instabilities of the weakly curved non-supersymmetric backgrounds of M-theory.
