Title: Top-down non-conformal holography
Abstract: I will discuss a few examples of holographic dual pairs that arise in string theory for quantum theories that are not conformal. In particular, we will focus on Euclidean supersymmetric gauge theories on spheres and compute observables using supergravity and string theory on one side of the duality and supersymmetric localization on the other. This two-pronged approach allows us to study perturbative and non-perturbative corrections to the leading-order holographic result.
