The Chern-Simons Diffusion Rate in Improved Holographic QCD
Umut Gursoy, Ioannis Iatrakis, Elias Kiritsis +2
In (3+1)-dimensional SU(Nc) Yang-Mills (YM) theory, the Chern-Simons diffusion rate, Gamma_{CS}, is determined by the zero-momentum, zero-frequency limit of the retarded two-point…
Quantum critical lines in holographic phases with (un)broken symmetry
B. Goutéraux, E. Kiritsis
All possible scaling IR asymptotics in homogeneous, translation invariant holographic phases preserving or breaking a U(1) symmetry in the IR are classified. Scale invariant geomet…
Lorentz violation, Gravity, Dissipation and Holography
Elias Kiritsis
We reconsider Lorentz Violation (LV) at the fundamental level. We show that Lorentz Violation is intimately connected with gravity and that LV couplings in QFT must always be field…
Higher-derivative scalar-vector-tensor theories: black holes, Galileons, singularity cloaking and holography
C. Charmousis, B. Goutéraux, E. Kiritsis
We consider a general Kaluza-Klein reduction of a truncated Lovelock theory. We find necessary geometric conditions for the reduction to be consistent. The resulting lower-dimensio…
The holographic quantum effective potential at finite temperature and density
Elias Kiritsis, Vasilis Niarchos
We develop a formalism that allows the computation of the quantum effective potential of a scalar order parameter in a class of holographic theories at finite temperature and charg…
