Thermalization of Strongly Coupled Field Theories
V. Balasubramanian, A. Bernamonti, J. de Boer +7
Using the AdS/CFT correspondence, we probe the scale-dependence of thermalization in strongly coupled field theories following a quench via saddlepoint calculations of 2-point func…
Vacuum decay in multidimensional field landscapes: thin, thick and intersecting walls
Vijay Balasubramanian, Bartlomiej Czech, Klaus Larjo +1
We study tunneling between vacua in multi-dimensional field spaces. Working in the strict thin wall approximation, we find that the conventional instantons for false vacuum decay d…
States of a chiral 2d CFT
Vijay Balasubramanian, Jamie Parsons, Simon F. Ross
We study the dual description of the self-dual orbifold, a locally AdS_3 spacetime which is a circle fibration over AdS_2 and arises as the near-horizon limit of the extreme BTZ bl…
