Resurrecting the coherent state variational algorithm for large gauge theories

Laurence G. Yaffe

The feasibility of studying, numerically, properties of infinite volume QCD-like theories in the large limit using coherent state variational methods is reassessed. An entirely…

Line operators, vortex statistics, and Higgs versus confinement dynamics

Aleksey Cherman, Theodore Jacobson, Srimoyee Sen +1

We study a D lattice gauge theory with fundamental representation scalar fields which has both Higgs and confining regimes with a spontaneously-broken -form symmet…

Colliding localized, lumpy holographic shocks with a granular nuclear structure

Sebastian Waeber, Laurence G. Yaffe

We apply a recent and simple technique which speeds up the calculation of localized collisions in holography to study more realistic models of heavy ion collisions via the gauge/gr…

Collision of localized shocks in AdS as a series expansion in transverse gradients

Sebastian Waeber, Laurence G. Yaffe

We introduce a computational framework to more efficiently calculate the collision of localized shocks in five dimensional asymptotically Anti-de Sitter space. We expand the Einste…

Vortices in spin-0 superfluids carry magnetic flux

Aleksey Cherman, Theodore Jacobson, Srimoyee Sen +1

Vortices in spin- superfluids generically carry magnetic fields inside their cores, so that even neutral superfluid vortices may be thought of as magnetic flux tubes. We give a…

Higgs-confinement phase transitions with fundamental representation matter

Aleksey Cherman, Theodore Jacobson, Srimoyee Sen +1

We discuss the conditions under which Higgs and confining regimes in gauge theories with fundamental representation matter fields can be sharply distinguished. It is widely believe…
