Large spin expansion of semiclassical 3-point correlators in AdS_5 x S^5

J. G. Russo, A. A. Tseytlin

3-point correlators in AdS_5xS^5 string theory in which two states are "heavy" (have large quantum numbers) and the third is "light" (here chosen as chiral primary scalar) can be c…

Towards holographic walking from N=4 super Yang-Mills

S. Prem Kumar, David Mateos, Angel Paredes +1

We propose that a holographic description of `walking' behaviour, namely quasi-conformal dynamics relevant for technicolor models, can be obtained from relevant deformations of N=4…

p-wave Holographic Superconductors and five-dimensional gauged Supergravity

Francesco Aprile, Diego Rodriguez-Gomez, Jorge G. Russo

We explore five-dimensional and SO(6) gauged supergravities as frameworks for condensed matter applications. These theories contain cha…

SuperParticle realization of twisted N=2 SUSY algebra

Roberto Casalbuoni, Joaquim Gomis, Kiyoshi Kamimura

We construct a pseudoclassical particle model associated to the twisted N=2 SUSY algebra in four dimensions. The particle model has four kappa symmetries. Three of them can be used…

Holographic description of vacuum bubbles

Jaume Garriga

We discuss a holographic description of vacuum bubbles, with possible implications for a consistent description of the multiverse. In particular, we elaborate on the recent observa…

Higher-dimensional Rotating Charged Black Holes

Marco M. Caldarelli, Roberto Emparan, Bert Van Pol

Using the blackfold approach, we study new classes of higher-dimensional rotating black holes with electric charges and string dipoles, in theories of gravity coupled to a 2-form o…

Accelerated detectors and worldsheet horizons in AdS/CFT

Mariano Chernicoff, Angel Paredes

We use the AdS/CFT correspondence to discuss the response of an accelerated observer to the quantum vacuum fluctuations. In particular, we study heavy quarks probing a strongly cou…

Galilean symmetry in the effective theory of inflation: new shapes of non-Gaussianity

Paolo Creminelli, Guido D'Amico, Marcello Musso +2

We study the consequences of imposing an approximate Galilean symmetry on the Effective Theory of Inflation, the theory of small perturbations around the inflationary background. T…

The cosmological constant and the relaxed universe

Florian Bauer

We study the role of the cosmological constant (CC) as a component of dark energy (DE). It is argued that the cosmological term is in general unavoidable and it should not be ignor…

Cherenkov mesons as in-medium quark energy loss

Jorge Casalderrey-Solana, Daniel Fernandez, David Mateos

We recently showed that a heavy quark moving sufficiently fast through a quark-gluon plasma may lose energy by Cherenkov-radiating mesons [1]. Here we review our previous holograph…

Multi-black rings and the phase diagram of higher-dimensional black holes

Roberto Emparan, Pau Figueras

Configurations of multiple concentric black rings play an important role in determining the pattern of branchings, connections and mergers between different phases of higher-dimens…

Black stars induced by matter on a brane: exact solutions

A. A. Andrianov, M. A. Kurkov

New exact asymptotically flat solutions of five-dimensional Einstein equations with horizon are found to describe multidimensional black stars generated by matter on the brane, con…

No-dipole-hair theorem for higher-dimensional static black holes

Roberto Emparan, Seiju Ohashi, Tetsuya Shiromizu

We prove that static black holes in n-dimensional asymptotically flat spacetime cannot support non-trivial electric p-form field strengths when (n+1)/2<= p <= n-1. This implies in…

Deformations of Maxwell Superalgebras and Their Applications

Sotirios Bonanos, Joaquim Gomis, Kiyoshi Kamimura +1

We describe the Lie algebra deformations of D=4 Maxwell superalgebra that was recently introduced as the symmetry algebra of a kappa-symmetric massless superparticle in a supersymm…

Flavor from M5-branes

Bartomeu Fiol

We study various aspects of the defect conformal field theory that arises when placing a single M5-brane probe in AdS_4 x S^7. We derive the full set of fluctuation modes and dimen…

The emergence of geometry: a two-dimensional toy model

Jorge Alfaro, Domènec Espriu, Daniel Puigdomènech

We review the similarities between the effective chiral lagrangrian, relevant for low-energy strong interactions, and the Einstein-Hilbert action. We use these analogies to suggest…

Defect CFTs and holographic multiverse

Bartomeu Fiol

We investigate some aspects of a recent proposal for a holographic description of the multiverse. Specifically, we focus on the implications on the suggested duality of the fluctua…

Black Brane Viscosity and the Gregory-Laflamme Instability

Joan Camps, Roberto Emparan, Nidal Haddad

We study long wavelength perturbations of neutral black p-branes in asymptotically flat space and show that, as anticipated in the blackfold approach, solutions of the relativistic…

Quantum Fluctuations and the Unruh Effect in Strongly-Coupled Conformal Field Theories

Elena Caceres, Mariano Chernicoff, Alberto Guijosa +1

Through the AdS/CFT correspondence, we study a uniformly accelerated quark in the vacuum of strongly-coupled conformal field theories in various dimensions, and determine the resul…
