DESCRIPTION:I will discuss precision holography for the non-conformal SYM 
 theories arising on the worldvolume of coincident Dp-branes. I will show h
 ow the free energy of the planar SYM theory on the round sphere and the ex
 pectation values of fundamental BPS Wilson loops can be computed explicitl
 y by utilizing supersymmetric localization. I will then present a class of
  supergravity backgrounds that capture the backreaction of spherical Dp-br
 anes and provide a holographic description of the SYM theory. I will show 
 that the supergravity calculations of the free energy and the Wilson loop 
 expectation value are in precise agreement with the supersymmetric localiz
 ation results. Finally\, I will exploit the scaling similarity property of
  the Dp-brane supergravity solutions to derive simple Witten diagram rules
  for the calculation of n-point correlation functions and will show how to
  explicitly compute 2pt- and 3pt-functions. This leads to explicit results
  of the 2pt- and 3pt-functions of scalar BPS operators in the planar stron
 gly-coupled SYM theory\, including the cases of the BFSS model and the 3d 
 maximally supersymmetric YM theory\, that could be tested using lattice QF
 T methods.
