Conformality or confinement: (IR)relevance of topological excitations
Erich Poppitz, Mithat Unsal
We study aspects of the conformality to confinement transition for non-supersymmetric Yang-Mills theories with fermions in arbitrary chiral or vectorlike representations. We use th…
3D scalar model as a 4D perfect conductor limit: dimensional reduction and variational boundary conditions
A. Edery, N. Graham, I. MacDonald
Under dimensional reduction, a system in D spacetime dimensions will not necessarily yield its D-1-dimensional analog version. Among other things, this result will depend on the bo…
Chiral gauge dynamics and dynamical supersymmetry breaking
Erich Poppitz, Mithat Unsal
We study the dynamics of a chiral SU(2) gauge theory with a Weyl fermion in the I=3/2 representation and of its supersymmetric generalization. In the former, we find a new and exot…
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…
Holographic Dual of QCD from Black D5 Branes
Benjamin A. Burrington, Jacob Sonnenschein
We study the dynamics of probe D7 flavor probe branes in the background of near extremal D5 branes. This model is a holographic dual to a gauge theory with spon…
Cosmological Fluctuations from Infra-Red Cascading During Inflation
Neil Barnaby, Zhiqi Huang, Lev Kofman +1
We propose a qualitatively new mechanism for generating cosmological fluctuations from inflation. The non-equilibrium excitation of interacting scalar fields often evolves into inf…
