Light-like mesons and deep inelastic scattering in finite-temperature AdS/CFT with flavor
E. Iancu, A. H. Mueller
We use the holographic dual of a finite-temperature, strongly-coupled, gauge theory with a small number of flavors of massive fundamental quarks to study meson excitations and deep…
Transport Properties of QCD at Large and the Gauge/String Duality
Jorge Noronha
Below the deconfinement phase transition large QCD is expected to be a very viscous hadronic fluid because both the shear and bulk viscosity to entropy density ratio, $η/s,ζ/…
Energy's and amplitudes' positivity
Alberto Nicolis, Riccardo Rattazzi, Enrico Trincherini
In QFT, the null energy condition (NEC) for a classical field configuration is usually associated with that configuration's stability against small perturbations, and with the sub-…
Particle production in DIS off a shockwave in AdS
Fabio Dominguez
Within the AdS/CFT correspondence, the shockwave metric has been widely used as a gravity dual for a fast moving nucleus. Here we propose a picture for particle production in deep…
Smooth Initial Conditions from Weak Gravity
Brian Greene, Kurt Hinterbichler, Simon Judes +1
CMB measurements reveal an unnaturally smooth early universe. We propose a mechanism to make this smoothness natural by weakening the strength of gravity at early times, and theref…
Stretched extra dimensions and bubbles of nothing in a toy model landscape
I-Sheng Yang
Using simple 6D junction conditions, we describe two surprising geometries. First in a case of transitions between dS4xS2 vacua, the S2 can be stretched significantly larger than t…
Connecting Polyakov Loops to the Thermodynamics of Gauge Theories Using the Gauge-String Duality
Jorge Noronha
We show that in four-dimensional gauge theories dual to five-dimensional Einstein gravity coupled to a single scalar field in the bulk the derivative of the single heavy quark free…
A Prehistory of n-Categorical Physics
John C. Baez, Aaron Lauda
This paper traces the growing role of categories and n-categories in physics, starting with groups and their role in relativity, and leading up to more sophisticated concepts which…
Dynamical Decompactification and Three Large Dimensions
Brian Greene, Dan Kabat, Stefanos Marnerides
We study string gas dynamics in the early universe and seek to realize the Brandenberger - Vafa mechanism - a goal that has eluded earlier works - that singles out three or fewer s…
A New Mechanism for Bubble Nucleation: Classical Transitions
Richard Easther, John T. Giblin, Lam Hui +1
Given a scalar field with metastable minima, bubbles nucleate quantum mechanically. When bubbles collide, energy stored in the bubble walls is converted into kinetic energy of the…
Boundary Terms and Junction Conditions for the DGP Pi-Lagrangian and Galileon
Ethan Dyer, Kurt Hinterbichler
In the decoupling limit of DGP, Pi describes the brane-bending degree of freedom. It obeys second order equations of motion, yet it is governed by a higher derivative Lagrangian. W…
Superluminality in DGP
Kurt Hinterbichler, Alberto Nicolis, Massimo Porrati
We reconsider the issue of superluminal propagation in the DGP model of infrared modified gravity. Superluminality was argued to exist in certain otherwise physical backgrounds by…
The "in-in" Formalism and Cosmological Perturbations
Peter Adshead, Richard Easther, Eugene A. Lim
We describe an efficient scheme for evaluating higher order contributions to primordial cosmological perturbations using the "in-in" formalism, which is the basis of modern calcula…
Stochastic trailing string and Langevin dynamics from AdS/CFT
G. C. Giecold, E. Iancu, A. H. Mueller
Using the gauge/string duality, we derive a set of Langevin equations describing the dynamics of a relativistic heavy quark moving with constant average speed through the strongly-…
Interactions of massless monopole clouds
Christopher M. Miller, Erick J. Weinberg
Some spontaneously broken gauge theories with unbroken non-Abelian gauge groups contain massless magnetic monopoles that are realized classically as clouds of non-Abelian field sur…
Eternal Inflation, Bubble Collisions, and the Disintegration of the Persistence of Memory
Ben Freivogel, Matthew Kleban, Alberto Nicolis +1
We compute the probability distribution for bubble collisions in an inflating false vacuum which decays by bubble nucleation. Our analysis generalizes previous work of Guth, Garrig…
