Non-conformal examples of AdS/CFT
Steven S. Gubser
Asymptotically anti-de Sitter spacetimes with Poincare invariance along the boundary can describe, via the AdS/CFT correspondence, either relevant deformations of a conformal field…
Modeling the fifth dimension with scalars and gravity
O. DeWolfe, D. Z. Freedman, S. S. Gubser +1
A method for obtaining solutions to the classical equations for scalars plus gravity in five dimensions is applied to some recent suggestions for brane-world phenomenology. The met…
Symmetric Potentials of Gauged Supergravities in Diverse Dimensions and Coulomb Branch of Gauge Theories
M. Cvetic, S. S. Gubser, H. Lu +1
A class of conformally flat and asymptotically anti-de Sitter geometries involving profiles of scalar fields is studied from the point of view of gauged supergravity. The scalars i…
Dynamics of D-brane Black Holes
Steven S. Gubser
We explore the interplay between black holes in supergravity and quantum field theories on the world-volumes of D-branes. A brief summary of black hole entropy calculations for D-b…
Continuous distributions of D3-branes and gauged supergravity
D. Z. Freedman, S. S. Gubser, K. Pilch +1
States on the Coulomb branch of N=4 super-Yang-Mills theory are studied from the point of view of gauged supergravity in five dimensions. These supersymmetric solutions provide exa…
Renormalization Group Flows from Holography--Supersymmetry and a c-Theorem
D. Z. Freedman, S. S. Gubser, K. Pilch +1
We obtain first order equations that determine a supersymmetric kink solution in five-dimensional N=8 gauged supergravity. The kink interpolates between an exterior anti-de Sitter…
Large N Field Theories, String Theory and Gravity
O. Aharony, S. S. Gubser, J. Maldacena +2
We review the holographic correspondence between field theories and string/M theory, focusing on the relation between compactifications of string/M theory on Anti-de Sitter spaces…
Dilaton-driven confinement
Steven S. Gubser
We derive a solution of type IIB supergravity which is asymptotic to AdS_5 x S^5, has SO(6) symmetry, and exhibits some of the features expected of geometries dual to confining gau…
Thermodynamic Stability and Phases of General Spinning Branes
Mirjam Cvetic, Steven S. Gubser
We determine the thermodynamic stability conditions for near-extreme rotating D3, M5, and M2-branes with multiple angular momenta. Critical exponents near the boundary of stability…
Phases of R-charged Black Holes, Spinning Branes and Strongly Coupled Gauge Theories
Mirjam Cvetic, Steven S. Gubser
We study the thermodynamic stability of charged black holes in gauged supergravity theories in D=5, D=4 and D=7. We find explicitly the location of the Hawking-Page phase transitio…
