General Structure of Relativistic Vector Condensation
Francesco Sannino
We study relativistic massive vector condensation due to a non zero chemical potential associated to some of the global conserved charges of the theory. We show that the phase stru…
N=1 Matter from Fractional Branes
R. Marotta, F. Nicodemi, R. Pettorino +2
We study a bound state of fractional D3-branes localized inside the world-volume of fractional D7-branes on the orbifold C^3/Z_2 x Z_2. We determine the open string spectrum that l…
N=1 Super Yang Mills renormalization schemes for Fractional Branes
Raffaele Marotta, Francesco Sannino
We investigate N=1 super Yang-Mills theory using fractional branes. We first define the beta-function with respect to a supergravity coordinate. To provide the relation between the…
N=1 Super Yang-Mills from Supergravity: The UV-IR Connection
Poul Olesen, Francesco Sannino
We consider the Maldacena-Nunez supergravity solution corresponding to N=1 super Yang-Mills within the approach by Di Vecchia, Lerda and Merlatti. We show that if one uses the radi…
Aspects of the Quantum Chromo Dynamics Phase Diagram
Francesco Sannino
I briefly review some aspects of the Quantum Chromo Dynamics phase diagram at non zero temperature and quark chemical potential. I then suggest new possible phases which can appear…
Vector Condensation at Large Chemical Potential
F. Sannino, W. Schäfer
We discuss the condensation of relativistic spin-one fields at high chemical potential. This phenomenon leads to the spontaneous breaking of rotational invariance, together with th…
A supernova constraint on bulk majorons
Steen Hannestad, Petteri Keranen, Francesco Sannino
In models with large extra dimensions all gauge singlet fields can in principle propagate in the extra dimensional space. We have investigated possible constraints on majoron model…
Polyakov Loops versus Hadronic States
Francesco Sannino
The order parameter for the pure Yang-Mills phase transition is the Polyakov loop which encodes the symmetries of the Z_N center of the SU(N) gauge group. On the other side the phy…
Partial Deconfinement in Color Superconductivity
F. Sannino, N. Marchal, W. Schäfer
We analyze the fate of the unbroken SU(2) color gauge interactions for 2 light flavors color superconductivity at non zero temperature. Using a simple model we compute the deconfin…
