A seguir, relembramos a prescrição proposta por Berkovits e Maldacena [5] que facilita o cálculo dessas amplitudes para gluons no contexto de supercordas abertas, e que reproduz os resultados corretos para 4 e 5 gluons além de se reduzir aos resultados de sYM no limite 'alfa linha' = 0, conforme veri?cado em [5] e [22]. Em seguida, estenderemos a prescrição de Berkovits-Maldacena para a supercorda fechada, usando-a primeiramente para calcular a amplitude MHV de 4 gravitons e conferindo o resultado com os encontrados na literatura por métodos usuais (resultado já obtido em [8]). Como contribuição original ao tema, demonstraremos que, no limite 'alfa linha' = 0, a prescrição reproduz o resultado de supergravidade encontrado por Hodges [17] / In this work we review the simple formulas found for MHV amplitudes of gluons and gravitons inside the contexts of super-Yang-Mills with supersymmetry N = 4 and supergravity with supersymmetry N = 8. We then review the prescription proposed by Berkovits and Maldacena [5] which simpli?es the calculation of those amplitudes for gluons inside the context of open superstrings, and which reproduces the correct results for 4 and 5 gluons, besides reducing to the sYM results in the 'alfa linha' = 0 limit, as veri?ed in [5] and [22]. Next, we extend the Berkovits-Maldacena prescription to the closed superstring, using it ?rst to calculate the MHV amplitude for 4 gravitons and verifying the result with the ones found in the literature by usual methods (result already obtained in [8]). As an original contribution to the subject, we will prove that, in the 'alfa linha' = 0 limit, the prescription gives the result of supergravity found by Hodges [17] / FAPESP: 11/02699-6

Symphonic Poem New Life is a composition in one movement for orchestra and yang-chin. The work is divided into six continuous sections. It is written in resultant form which is a cumulative process by which all major musical elements return at the end of the work. The tritone is the prominent interval used throughout the piece. Some graphic notation is also employed. The work has a performance time of approximately 13-15 minutes. The yang-chin is a Chinese string instrument similar to the Hungarian cymbalon, which is played with a pair of small beaters. These instruments have similar ranges, and either instrument can be used in this work.

Computer network administrators need advanced tools to configure network devices. For this purpose, the NETCONF protocol and the YANG modeling language were developed. The aim of this thesis is to implement the Zero Touch mechanism that serves the initial configuration of the NETCONF server. This mechanism will be integrated into the sysrepo datastore.

Dissertation submitted to the Faculty of Science, University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, in ful lment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science. Johannesburg, 2017. / In this dissertation we tackle the question: is there an emergent Yang-Mills theory coming from the low energy description of branes and open strings? This new Yang-Mills theory has no connection to the original gauge symmetry of the CFT. We thus explore a large N but non-planar limit of the theory. This is done with new methods developed in group representation theory. A study the dilatation operator D in N = 4 SYM theory is done since its eigenvalue, the anomalous dimension, is mapped to the energy of the open string in the IIB string theory. The construction of the spherical harmonics from the harmonic expansion on the 3-sphere, S3, is done to understand the theory of the giant graviton's worldvolume. The light-front parton picture is examined, since it explains how one can \glue" single momentum modes together to obtain higher momentum modes, and we believe that this procedure is described dynamically using magnon bound states. Following from this, we work on determining the exact magnon bound state spectrum. Finally, we test our hypothesis and see if the spectrum of the bound states matches the harmonic spectrum from the harmonic expansion on the 3-sphere, S3. A non-trivial check is also performed to show that the bound state spectrum does indeed match the spectrum coming from N = 4 SYM. / LG2018
