• ABJM theories: Besides the well known realization <strong>of</strong> the AdS/CFT correspondence that involves the maximally<br />
supersymm<strong>et</strong>ric Yang–Mills theory in four <strong>di</strong>mensions, a second explicit realization involves a three <strong>di</strong>mensional<br />
Chern–Simons–matter theory with non–maximal N=6 supersymm<strong>et</strong>ry. The investigation <strong>of</strong> dualities and symm<strong>et</strong>ries<br />
in the on–shell sector <strong>of</strong> the theory is an important task aimed at <strong>di</strong>sclosing model–independent features<br />
<strong>of</strong> the AdS/CFT correspondence. The explicit evaluation <strong>of</strong> scattering amplitudes and Wilson loops and the<br />
study <strong>of</strong> their properties are currently under investigation.<br />
In the past, important results have been obtained in the area <strong>of</strong> (supersymm<strong>et</strong>ric and non-supersymm<strong>et</strong>ric) two<br />
<strong>di</strong>mensional Conformal Field Theories, Integrable models, Theories with boundaries which describe statistical models<br />
with defects, Topological theories, Nonlinear sigma models.<br />
