[http://arxiv.org/abs/hep-th/0309246 TASI 2003 Lectures on AdS/CFT] 
by Juan M. Maldacena (hep-th/0309246, 46 pages) 
Maldacena's TASI lectures introduce the AdS/CFT correspondence and in particular the plane-wave limit.

[http://arxiv.org/abs/hep-th/0307101 Lectures on the Plane-Wave String/Gauge Theory Duality] 
by Jan Plefka (hep-th/0307101, 46 pages) 
Plefka's review of the plane-wave gauge/gravity duality concentrates on the gauge-theory side of
the correspondence and introduces an effective formalism that reduces the gauge-theory computations to quantum mechanics.
Plefka describes how string field theory calculations match gauge theory calculations. An elementary introduction to light-cone string field theory is included here as well.

[http://arxiv.org/abs/hep-th/0311139 Spinning strings and AdS/CFT duality] 
by A.A. Tseytlin (hep-th/0311139, 54 pages) 
Tseytlin reviews how certain string states in Anti-de Sitter space (crossed with S^5) can be studied in detail using semiclassical methods, allowing detailed studies of the AdS/CFT duality to be carried out. These states have large angular momentum on the S^5 and their study is related to the above plane-wave limit.

by Marcus Spradlin, Anastasia Volovich (hep-th/0310033, 46 pages, 4 figures) 
Spradlin and Volovich review the plane-wave limit of AdS/CFT and describe how string field theory calculations of string interactions in 9+1 dimensional plane-wave spacetimes match interactions calculated using N=4 super Yang-Mills gauge theory in a 3+1 conformally flat spacetime. The paper includes
an elementary introduction to light-cone string field theory.

Spradlin and Volovich review the plane-wave limit of AdS/CFT and describe how string field theory calculations of string interactions in 9+1 dimensional plane-wave spacetimes match interactions calculated using N=4 super Yang-Mills gauge theory in a 3+1 conformally flat spacetime.

The authors review the calculation of black-hole properties from string theory for the case
of the nearly-extreme D1-D5 black hole. Many important details of the D-brane gauge and conformal field theories are discussed, leading to black-hole thermodynamics and Hawking radiation.

Black Rings

===reviews===

This page contains reviews on Black holes in higher dimensional (D>4) space-times. In addition to black-hole horizons with topology S^n, there are possibilities of having other horizon topologies (like S^2\times S^1 -- the so called black rings) in D>4; this is prevented in D=4 by Stephen Hawking's theorem ('''citation required''') which states that black hole horizon's can only have the topology of S^2.
