Holographic D-brane constructions with dynamical gauge fields
arXiv:2506.09461 · doi:10.1007/JHEP03(2026)118
Abstract
Holographic D-brane constructions, governed by the Dirac-Born-Infeld (DBI) action, play a central role in the AdS/CFT correspondence, particularly in applications to quantum chromodynamics and condensed matter systems. In this work, we demonstrate how to equip these bottom-up holographic models with dynamical boundary gauge fields, thereby introducing electromagnetic interactions into their dual field theory descriptions. As a direct application of this formalism, we compute the dispersion relations of the lowest quasinormal modes around both equilibrium and nonequilibrium steady states, and show that their behavior matches the predictions from hydrodynamics with dynamical symmetry.
