Perturbative and Non-perturbative Approaches to String Sigma-Models in AdS/CFT by Edoardo Vescovi.
This thesis introduces readers to the type II superstring theories in the AdS5×S5 and AdS4×CP3 backgrounds. Each chapter exemplifies a different computational approach to measuring observables (conformal dimensions of single-trace operators and expectation values of Wilson loop operators) relevant f...
