On bounds and boundary conditions in the continuum Landau gauge

D. Dudal, M. S. Guimaraes, I. F. Justo +1

In this note, we consider the Landau gauge in the continuum formulation. Our purposes are twofold. Firstly, we try to work out the consequences of the recently derived Cucchieri-Me…

Perturbative String Thermodynamics near Black Hole Horizons

Thomas G. Mertens, Henri Verschelde, Valentin I. Zakharov

We provide further computations and ideas to the problem of near-Hagedorn string thermodynamics near (uncharged) black hole horizons, building upon our earlier work JHEP 1403 (2014…

The melting of charmonium in a magnetic field from an effective AdS/QCD model

David Dudal, Thomas G. Mertens

We study the influence of a background magnetic field on the melting of the J/psi vector meson by introducing a Born-Infeld modification of the soft-wall model. Out of the three po…

On the Relevance of the Thermal Scalar

Thomas G. Mertens, Henri Verschelde, Valentin I. Zakharov

We discuss near-Hagedorn string thermodynamics in general spacetimes using the formalism of the thermal scalar. Building upon earlier work by Horowitz and Polchinski, we relate sev…

Near-Hagedorn Thermodynamics and Random Walks - Extensions and Examples

Thomas G. Mertens, Henri Verschelde, Valentin I. Zakharov

In this paper, we discuss several explicit examples of the results obtained in JHEP 1402 (2014) 127. We elaborate on the random walk picture in these spacetimes and how it is modif…

Holographic Quenches and Fermionic Spectral Functions

N. Callebaut, B. Craps, F. Galli +4

Using holographic methods we investigate the behaviour of fermionic spectral functions of strongly coupled 2+1 dimensional field theories as both temperature and chemical potential…

Cosmological perturbations in non-local higher-derivative gravity

Ben Craps, Tim De Jonckheere, Alexey S. Koshelev

We study cosmological perturbations in a non-local higher-derivative model of gravity introduced by Biswas, Mazumdar and Siegel. We extend previous work, which had focused on class…

The Thermal Scalar and Random Walks in AdS3 and BTZ

Thomas G. Mertens, Henri Verschelde, Valentin I. Zakharov

We analyze near-Hagedorn thermodynamics of strings in the WZW model. We compute the thermal spectrum of all primaries and find the thermal scalar explicitly in the string s…

Fermion zero modes in a chromomagnetic vortex lattice

M. N. Chernodub, Tigran Kalaydzhyan, Jos Van Doorsselaere +1

We prove the existence of zero modes of massless quarks in a background of spaghetti vacuum of chromomagnetic vortices in QCD. We find a general solution for the zero modes and sho…
