Target space of boundary CFT dual to a bulk string theory ($AdS_3/CFT_2$)
I was reading the Maldacena Ooguri paper where they mention that for the string theory living on $AdS_3\times S_3 \times M_4$ (where $M_4$ is $K3$ or $T^4$), the boundary CFT is the supersymmetric ...

Coulomb Branch vs. Higgs Branch (and the connection with D-branes, AdS/CFT)
I am confused about the difference between the Coulomb and Higgs branches of the moduli space of supersymmetric gauge theories. It's easy to find a definition for $D=4$, $\mathcal{N}=2$ supersymmetric ...
