A similarity transformation, which brings a particular class of the $N=1$ string to the $N=0$ one, is explicitly constructed. It enables us to give a simple proof for the argument recently proposed by Berkovits and Vafa. The $N=1$ BRST operator is turned into the direct sum of the corresponding $N=0$ BRST operator and that for an additional topological sector. As a result, the physical spectrum of these $N=1$ vacua is shown to be isomorphic to the tensor product of the $N=0$ spectrum and the topological sector which consists of only the vacuum. This transformation manifestly keeps the operator algebra.

Sigma model in $AdS_3times S^3$ background supported by both NS-NS and R-R fluxes is one of the most distinguished integrable models. We study a class of classical string solutions for $N$-spike strings moving in $AdS_3 times S^1$ with angular momentum $J$ in $S^1 subset S^5$ in the presence of mixed flux. We observe that the addition of angular momentum $J$ or winding number $m$ results in the spikes getting rounded off and not end in cusp. The presence of flux shows no alteration to the rounding-off nature of the spikes. We also consider the large $N$-limit of $N$-spike string in $AdS_3 times S^1$ in the presence of flux and show that the so-called Energy-Spin dispersion relation is analogous to the solution we get for the periodic-spike in $AdS_3-pp-$wave $times S^1$ background with flux.
We explore the string spectrum in the Witten QCD model by considering classical string configurations, thereby obtaining energy formulas for quantum states with large excitation quantum numbers representing glueballs and Kaluza-Klein states. In units of the string tension, the energies of all states increase as the t Hooft coupling $lambda $ is decreased, except the energies of glueballs corresponding to strings lying on the horizon, which remain constant. We argue that some string solutions can be extrapolated to the small $lambda $ regime. We also find the classical mechanics description of supergravity glueballs in terms of point-like string configurations oscillating in the radial direction, and reproduce the glueball energy formula previously obtained by solving the equation for the dilaton fluctuation.
For dyons in heterotic string theory compactified on a six-torus, with electric charge vector Q and magnetic charge vector P, the positive integer I = g.c.d.(Q wedge P) is an invariant of the U-duality group. We propose the microscopic theory for computing the spectrum of all dyons for all values of I, generalizing earlier results that exist only for the simplest case of I=1. Our derivation uses a combination of arguments from duality, 4d-5d lift, and a careful analysis of fermionic zero modes. The resulting degeneracy agrees with the black hole degeneracy for large charges and with the degeneracy of field-theory dyons for small charges. It naturally satisfies several physical requirements including integrality and duality invariance. As a byproduct, we also derive the microscopic (0,4) superconformal field theory relevant for computing the spectrum of five-dimensional Strominger-Vafa black holes in ALE backgrounds and count the resulting degeneracies.
We review the holographic correspondence between field theories and string/M theory, focusing on the relation between compactifications of string/M theory on Anti-de Sitter spaces and conformal field theories. We review the background for this correspondence and discuss its motivations and the evidence for its correctness. We describe the main results that have been derived from the correspondence in the regime that the field theory is approximated by classical or semiclassical gravity. We focus on the case of the N=4 supersymmetric gauge theory in four dimensions, but we discuss also field theories in other dimensions, conformal and non-conformal, with or without supersymmetry, and in particular the relation to QCD. We also discuss some implications for black hole physics.
The discrete states in the $c=1$ string are shown to be the physical states of a certain topological sigma model. We define a set of new fields directly from $c=1$ variables, in terms of which the BRST charge and energy-momentum tensor are rewritten as those of the topological sigma model. Remarkably, ground ring generator $x$ turns out to be a coordinate of the sigma model. All of the discrete states realize a graded ring which contains ground ring as a subset.
