This book focuses on the study of different aspects of the AdS/CFT correspondence, the celebrated conjecture in string theory that relates gauge and gravity theories. It begins with a detailed review of the correspondence, with the main body of work being split into two chapters. The first chapter concerns the evaluation of correlation functions of BPS operators in the AdS/CFT correspondence, as these are useful to make indirect tests of the conjecture and to uncover dynamical features pertaining to the theories in the correspondence. In particular we look at four-point functions in...
