The phase diagram of confining holographic theories on constant curvature manifolds in the presence of a -angle
Ahmad Ghodsi, Elias Kiritsis, Francesco Nitti
Large families of confining holographic QFTs, described by Einstein-Dilaton gravity, are considered on constant-curvature manifolds in the presence of a -angle. The space of gro…
Interacting systems and wormholes
Panos Betzios, Elias Kiritsis, Olga Papadoulaki
We consider a class of tripartite systems for which two -dimensional QFTs are cross-coupled via a third -dimensional "messenger" QFT. We analyse in detail the example of a…
Dissecting the string theory dual of QCD
Elias Kiritsis
Input from QCD and string theory is used in order to elucidate basic features of the string theory dual of QCD, It is argued that the relevant string theory is a five-dimensional v…
Anomalies, Anomalous U(1)'s and generalized Chern-Simons terms
P. Anastasopoulos, M. Bianchi, E. Dudas +1
A detailed analysis of anomalous U(1)'s and their effective couplings is performed both in field theory and string theory. It is motivated by the possible relevance of such couplin…
Orientifolds, hypercharge embeddings and the Standard Model
P. Anastasopoulos, T. P. T. Dijkstra, E. Kiritsis +1
The embedding of the SM hypercharge into an orientifold gauge group is studied. Possible embeddings are classified, and a systematic construction of bottom-up configurations and to…
Five-Brane Configurations, Conformal Field Theories and the Strong-Coupling Problem
E. Kiritsis, C. Kounnas, P. M. Petropoulos +1
Decoupling limits of physical interest occur in regions of space--time where the string coupling diverges. This is illustrated in the celebrated example of five-branes. There are s…
