Flavours and Infra-red Instability in Holography
arXiv:1708.01775 · doi:10.1007/JHEP11(2017)101
Abstract
Within a phenomenological holographic model in -bulk dimensions, defined by Einstein-gravity with a negative cosmological constant, coupled to a Dirac-Born-Infeld and a Chern-Simons term, we explore the fate of BF-bound violation for a probe scalar field and a fluctuation mode of the corresponding geometry. We assume this simple model to capture the dynamics of a strongly coupled SU gauge theory with fundamental matter, which in the limit and with a non-vanishing matter density, is holographically described by an AdS-geometry in the IR. We demonstrate that, superconductor/superfluid instabilities are facilitated and spontaneous breaking of translational invariance is inhibited with increasing values of . This is similar, in spirit, with known results in large Quantum Chromodynamics with quarks and a non-vanishing density, in which the chiral density wave phase becomes suppressed and superconducting instabilities become favoured as the number of quarks is increased.
