Supersymmetric Holomorphic Masses in AdS/CFT with Flavour

Pietro Capuozzo, Jack Holden, Andy O'Bannon +3

In type IIB supergravity (SUGRA), in the extremal background of a number N_c of D3-branes we consider a number N_f of probe D7-branes extended along all four D3-brane directions, (…

Light dilaton near critical points in top-down holography

Daniel Elander, Antón F. Faedo, Maurizio Piai +2

We study a class of UV-complete, strongly coupled, confining three-dimensional field theories, that exhibit a novel stabilisation mechanism for the mass of the lightest scalar comp…

Conductivities and excitations of a holographic flavour brane Weyl semimetal

Haruki Furukawa, Sacha Ployet, Ronnie Rodgers

We compute the electrical conductivities at non-zero frequency in a top-down holographic model of a Weyl semimetal, consisting of supersymmetric …

Entanglement Rényi entropies in celestial holography

Federico Capone, Andy O'Bannon, Ronnie Rodgers +1

Celestial holography is the conjecture that scattering amplitudes in -dimensional asymptotically Minkowski spacetimes are dual to correlators of a -dimensional conformal…

Light holographic dilatons near critical points

Antón F. Faedo, Carlos Hoyos, Maurizio Piai +2

We investigate the relation between the emergence of a dilaton in gapped (confining) field theories, and the presence of either complex fixed points or instabilities in the strongl…

Boost-invariant superfluid flows

Ronnie Rodgers, Javier G. Subils

We present some exact solutions to the ideal hydrodynamics of a relativistic superfluid with an almost-conformal equation of state. The solutions have stress tensors which are inva…

Thermodynamics and transport of holographic nodal line semimetals

Ronnie Rodgers, Enea Mauri, Umut Gürsoy +1

We study various thermodynamic and transport properties of a holographic model of a nodal line semimetal (NLSM) at finite temperature, including the quantum phase transition to a t…

Holographic Entanglement Entropy of the Coulomb Branch

Adam Chalabi, S. Prem Kumar, Andy O'Bannon +3

We compute entanglement entropy (EE) of a spherical region in -dimensional supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory in states described holographically by pr…

A Weyl Semimetal from AdS/CFT with Flavour

Kazem Bitaghsir Fadafan, Andy O'Bannon, Ronnie Rodgers +1

We construct a top-down holographic model of Weyl semimetal states using -dimensional supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory, at large and strong c…

Holographic Wilson Lines as Screened Impurities

Nick Evans, Andy O'Bannon, Ronnie Rodgers

In Landau Fermi liquids, screened impurities support quasi-bound states, representing electrons bound to the impurity but making virtual excursions away. Signals of these quasi-bou…

From the Weyl Anomaly to Entropy of Two-Dimensional Boundaries and Defects

Kristan Jensen, Andy O'Bannon, Brandon Robinson +1

We study whether the relations between the Weyl anomaly, entanglement entropy (EE), and thermal entropy of a two-dimensional (2D) conformal field theory (CFT) extend to 2D boundari…

Wilson Surface Central Charge from Holographic Entanglement Entropy

John Estes, Darya Krym, Andy O'Bannon +2

We use entanglement entropy to define a central charge associated to a two-dimensional defect or boundary in a conformal field theory (CFT). We present holographic calculations of…

A First Law of Entanglement Rates from Holography

Andy O'Bannon, Jonas Probst, Ronnie Rodgers +1

For a perturbation of the state of a Conformal Field Theory (CFT), the response of the entanglement entropy is governed by the so-called "first law" of entanglement entropy, in whi…
