ABJM Mirrors and a Duality of Dualities

Kristan Jensen, Andreas Karch

We clarify how mirror symmetry acts on 3d theories with N=2,3 or 4 supersymmetries and non-abelian Chern-Simons terms and then construct many new examples. We identify a new dualit…

Drag and jet quenching of heavy quarks in a strongly coupled N=2* plasma

Carlos Hoyos-Badajoz

The drag of a heavy quark and the jet quenching parameter are studied in the strongly coupled N=2* plasma using the AdS/CFT correspondence. Both increase in units of the spatial st…

Critical Exponents from AdS/CFT with Flavor

Andreas Karch, Andy O'Bannon, Laurence G. Yaffe

We use the AdS/CFT correspondence to study the thermodynamics of massive N=2 supersymmetric hypermultiplet flavor fields coupled to N=4 supersymmetric SU(Nc) Yang-Mills theory, for…

A holographic perspective on non-relativistic conformal defects

Andreas Karch, Piotr Surowka, Ethan G. Thompson

We study defects in non-relativistic conformal field theories. As in the well-studied case of relativistic conformal defects, we find that a useful tool to organize correlation fun…

Stability of linear dilaton black holes at the Hagedorn temperature

Gaetano Bertoldi, Carlos Hoyos-Badajoz

We study the thermodynamics and the small fluctuations of a linear dilaton black hole, in an S-dual version of the near-horizon limit of type IIB NS5 branes. The thermodynamical an…

Thermal Noise and Stochastic Strings in AdS/CFT

Dam T. Son, Derek Teaney

We clarify the structure of thermal noise in AdS/CFT by studying the dynamics of an equilibrated heavy quark string. Using the Kruskal extension of the correspondence to generate t…
