Heat kernel expansion and induced action for the matrix model Dirac operator

Daniel N. Blaschke, Harold Steinacker, Michael Wohlgenannt

We compute the quantum effective action induced by integrating out fermions in Yang-Mills matrix models on a 4-dimensional background, expanded in powers of a gauge-invariant UV cu…

Inverse magnetic catalysis in dense holographic matter

Florian Preis, Anton Rebhan, Andreas Schmitt

We study the chiral phase transition in a magnetic field at finite temperature and chemical potential within the Sakai-Sugimoto model, a holographic top-down approach to (large-N_c…

On semiclassical calculation of three-point functions in AdS_4 x CP^3

D. Arnaudov, R. C. Rashkov

Recently there has been progress on the computation of two- and three-point correlation functions with two "heavy" states via semiclassical methods. We extend this analysis to the…

Can you hear the shape of dual geometries?

Richard Eager, Michael Gary, Matthew M. Roberts

We compute the sub-leading terms in the Tian-Yau-Zelditch asymptotic expansion of the partition function for dual giant gravitons on AdS5 L5 and provide a bulk interpretat…

Magnetic Catalysis of Chiral Symmetry Breaking. A Holographic Prospective

Veselin G. Filev, Radoslav C. Rashkov

We review a recent investigation of the effect of magnetic catalysis of mass generation in holographic Yang-Mills theories. We aim at a self-contained and pedagogical form of the r…

On F-theory E_6 GUTs

Ching-Ming Chen, Yu-Chieh Chung

We approach the Minimum Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM) from an E_6 GUT by using the spectral cover construction and non-abelian gauge fluxes in F-theory. We start with an E_6…
