Gravitational collapse and thermalization in the hard wall model
Ben Craps, Elias Kiritsis, Christopher Rosen +3
We study a simple example of holographic thermalization in a confining field theory: the homogeneous injection of energy in the hard wall model. Working in an amplitude expansion,…
The confining trailing string
E. Kiritsis, L. Mazzanti, F. Nitti
We extend the holographic trailing string picture of a heavy quark to the case of a bulk geometry dual to a confining gauge theory. We compute the classical trailing confining stri…
Holographic RG flows and nearly-marginal operators
Jun Bourdier, Elias Kiritsis
The holographic renormalization group flows associated with marginally relevant operators are analyzed. The associated perturbative and non-perturbative beta-functions are calculat…
Asymptotic freedom, asymptotic flatness and cosmology
Elias Kiritsis
Holographic RG flows in some cases are known to be related to cosmological solutions. In this paper another example of such correspondence is provided. Holographic RG flows giving…
On novel string theories from 4d gauge theories
Elias Kiritsis
We investigate strings theories as defined from four dimensional gauge theories. It is argued that novel (super)string theories exist up to 26 dimensions. Some of them may support…
