Breaking of Supersymmetry and Ultraviolet Divergences in Extended Supergravity

This is the seventh volume in a series on the general topics of supersymmetry, supergravity, black objects (including black holes), and the attractor mechanism. The present volume is based on lectures held in March 2013 at the INFN-Laboratori Nazionali di

Preface

The AdS/CFT correspondence, which states that D ¼ 4; N ¼ 4 super Yang-Mills is equivalent to Type IIB superstring on AdS5 9 S5, is a remarkable manifestation of the holographic principle. This correspondence has given rise to a plethora of trends, approaches, techniques, and developments in nowadays physics. They range from ‘‘standard’’ pure theoretical aspects to those having interesting experimental applications. This correspondence is extre
