Confinement of quarks and valence gluons in SU(N) Yang-Mills-Higgs models
L. E. Oxman
In this work, we analyze a class of Yang-Mills models containing adjoint Higgs fields, with SU(N) symmetry spontaneously broken down to Z(N), showing they contain center vortices,…
Stationary holographic plasma quenches and numerical methods for non-Killing horizons
Pau Figueras, Toby Wiseman
We explore use of the harmonic Einstein equations to numerically find stationary black holes where the problem is posed on an ingoing slice that extends into the interior of the bl…
SUPER-Screening
Philippe Brax, Anne-Christine Davis, Jeremy Sakstein
We present a framework for embedding scalar-tensor models of screened modifed gravity such as chameleons, symmetrons and environmental dilatons into global supersymmetry. This achi…
Vortex solutions of the Popov equations
N. S. Manton
Popov recently discovered a modified version of the Bogomolny equations for abelian Higgs vortices, and showed they were integrable on a sphere of curvature 1/2. Here we construct…
Spatially Modulated Instabilities of Geometries with Hyperscaling Violation
Sera Cremonini, Annamaria Sinkovics
We perform a study of possible instabilities of the infrared AdS2 x R2 region of solutions to Einstein-Maxwell-dilaton systems which exhibit an intermediate regime of hyperscaling…
The Chern-Simons Diffusion Rate in Improved Holographic QCD
Umut Gursoy, Ioannis Iatrakis, Elias Kiritsis +2
In (3+1)-dimensional SU(Nc) Yang-Mills (YM) theory, the Chern-Simons diffusion rate, Gamma_{CS}, is determined by the zero-momentum, zero-frequency limit of the retarded two-point…
Normal modes and time evolution of a holographic superconductor after a quantum quench
Xin Gao, Antonio M. García-García, Hua Bi Zeng +1
We employ holographic techniques to investigate the dynamics of the order parameter of a strongly coupled superconductor after a perturbation that drives the system out of equilibr…
Fluctuation and Dissipation at a Quantum Critical Point
David Tong, Kenny Wong
In non-relativistic field theories, quantum fluctuations give rise to dissipative behaviour even at zero temperature. Here we use holographic methods to explore the dissipative dyn…
Confinement in Anti-de Sitter Space
Ofer Aharony, Micha Berkooz, David Tong +1
Four dimensional gauge theories in anti-de Sitter space, including pure Yang-Mills theory, exhibit a quantum phase transition between a deconfined phase and a confined phase as the…
The Hoop Conjecture for Black Rings
A. H. Mujtaba, C. N. Pope
A precise formulation of the hoop conjecture for four-dimensional spacetimes proposes that the Birkhoff invariant βfor an apparent horizon in a spacetime with mass M should satisfy…
Exact Kahler Potential from Gauge Theory and Mirror Symmetry
Jaume Gomis, Sungjay Lee
We prove a recent conjecture that the partition function of N=(2, 2) gauge theories on the two-sphere which flow to Calabi-Yau sigma models in the infrared computes the exact Kahle…
The semiclassical limit of W_N CFTs and Vasiliev theory
Eric Perlmutter, Tomas Prochazka, Joris Raeymaekers
We propose a refinement of the Gaberdiel-Gopakumar duality conjecture between W_N conformal field theories and 2+1-dimensional higher spin gravity. We make an identification of gen…
Symmetries and Loops in Inflation
Valentin Assassi, Daniel Baumann, Daniel Green
In this paper, we prove that the superhorizon conservation of the curvature perturbation zeta in single-field inflation holds as an operator statement. This implies that all zeta-c…
Mutual information between thermo-field doubles and disconnected holographic boundaries
Ian A. Morrison, Matthew M. Roberts
We use mutual information as a measure of the entanglement between 'physical' and thermo-field double degrees of freedom in field theories at finite temperature. We compute this "t…
AdS/Ricci-flat correspondence and the Gregory-Laflamme instability
Marco M. Caldarelli, Joan Camps, Blaise Goutéraux +1
We show that for every asymptotically AdS solution compactified on a torus there is a corresponding Ricci-flat solution obtained by replacing the torus by a sphere, performing a We…
Non-abelian vortices on CP^1 and Grassmannians
Norman A. Rink
Many properties of the moduli space of abelian vortices on a compact Riemann surface are known. For non-abelian vortices the moduli space is less well understood. Here we consider…
Skyrmions up to Baryon Number 108
D. T. J. Feist, P. H. C. Lau, N. S. Manton
The Skyrme crystal is built up of repeating units similar to the cubic Skyrmion of baryon number 4. Using this as guide, we construct new Skyrmion solutions in the massive pion cas…
Holographic Wilson Loops, Dielectric Interfaces, and Topological Insulators
John Estes, Andy O'Bannon, Efstratios Tsatis +1
We use holography to study (3+1)-dimensional N=4 supersymmetric SU(Nc) Yang-Mills theory (SYM) in the large-Nc and large coupling limits, with a (2+1)-dimensional interface where t…
Supersymmetric Solutions in Four-Dimensional Off-Shell Curvature-Squared Supergravity
Hai-Shan Liu, Hong Lu, Yi Pang +1
Off-shell formulations of supergravities allow one to add closed-form higher-derivative super-invariants that are separately supersymmetric to the usual lower-derivative actions. I…
On the Hamiltonian form of 3D massive gravity
Olaf Hohm, Alasdair Routh, Paul K. Townsend +1
We present a "Chern-Simons-like" action for the "general massive gravity" model propagating two spin-2 modes with independent masses in three spacetime dimensions (3D), and we use…
Screening fifth forces in k-essence and DBI models
Philippe Brax, Clare Burrage, Anne-Christine Davis
New fifth forces have not yet been detected in the laboratory or in the solar system, hence it is typically difficult to introduce new light scalar fields that would mediate such f…
Further Evidence for Lattice-Induced Scaling
Gary T. Horowitz, Jorge E. Santos, David Tong
We continue our study of holographic transport in the presence of a background lattice. We recently found evidence that the presence of a lattice induces a new intermediate scaling…
Perturbative S-matrix for massive scalar fields in global de Sitter space
Donald Marolf, Ian A. Morrison, Mark Srednicki
We construct a perturbative S-matrix for interacting massive scalar fields in global de Sitter space. Our S-matrix is formulated in terms of asymptotic particle states in the far p…
Higher derivative theories with constraints : Exorcising Ostrogradski's Ghost
Tai-jun Chen, Matteo Fasiello, Eugene A. Lim +1
We prove that the linear instability in a non-degenerate higher derivative theory, the Ostrogradski instability, can only be removed by the addition of constraints if the original…
