Large-N limits of 2d CFTs, Quivers and AdS_3 duals
Elias Kiritsis, Vasilis Niarchos
We explore the large-N limits of 2d CFTs, focusing mostly on WZW models and their cosets. The theory is parametrized in this limit by a 't Hooft-like coupling. We show a…
Improved Holographic QCD
Umut Gürsoy, Elias Kiritsis, Liuba Mazzanti +2
We provide a review to holographic models based on Einstein-dilaton gravity with a potential in 5 dimensions. Such theories, for a judicious choice of potential are very close to t…
Langevin diffusion of heavy quarks in non-conformal holographic backgrounds
U. Gursoy, E. Kiritsis, L. Mazzanti +1
The Langevin diffusion process of a relativistic heavy quark in a non-conformal holographic setup is discussed. The bulk geometry is a general, five-dimensional asymptotically AdS…
Effective Holographic Theories for low-temperature condensed matter systems
C. Charmousis, B. Goutéraux, B. S. Kim +2
The IR dynamics of effective holographic theories capturing the interplay between charge density and the leading relevant scalar operator at strong coupling are analyzed. Such theo…
