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…
V-QCD: Spectra, the dilaton and the S-parameter
Daniel Arean, Ioannis Iatrakis, Matti Jarvinen +1
Zero temperature spectra of mesons and glueballs are analyzed in a class of holographic bottom-up models for QCD (named V-QCD), as a function of x = N_f/N_c with the full back-reac…
On finite-temperature holographic QCD in the Veneziano limit
T. Alho, M. Jarvinen, K. Kajantie +2
Holographic models in the T=0 universality class of QCD in the limit of large number N_c of colors and N_f massless fermion flavors, but constant ratio x_f=N_f/N_c, are analyzed at…
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…
