On consistent truncations in holography
Venkat Balasubramanian, Alex Buchel
Although Pilch-Warner (PW) gravitational renormalization group flow [arXiv:hep-th/0004063] passes a number of important consistency checks to be identified as a holographic dual to…
Cascading gauge theory on dS_4 and String Theory Landscape
Alex Buchel, Damian A. Galante
Placing anti-D3 branes at the tip of the conifold in Klebanov-Strassler geometry provides a generic way of constructing meta-stable de Sitter (dS) vacua in String Theory. A local g…
Universality of Abrupt Holographic Quenches
Alex Buchel, Robert C. Myers, Anton van Niekerk
We make an analytic investigation of rapid quenches of relevant operators in d-dimensional holographic CFT's, which admit a dual gravity description. We uncover a universal scaling…
Localization and holography in N=2 gauge theories
Alex Buchel
We compare exact results from Pestun's localization of SU(N) N=2^* gauge theory on S^4 with available holographic models. While localization can explain the Coulomb branch vacuum o…
Boson Stars in AdS
Alex Buchel, Steven L. Liebling, Luis Lehner
We construct boson stars in global Anti de Sitter (AdS) space and study their stability. Linear perturbation results suggest that the ground state along with the first three excite…
Cavitation effects on the confinement/deconfinement transition
Alex Buchel, Xian O. Camanho, Jose D. Edelstein
Cavitation is a process where the viscous terms in a relativistic fluid result in reducing the effective pressure, thus facilitating the nucleation of bubbles of a stable phase. Th…
Quantum quenches of holographic plasmas
Alex Buchel, Luis Lehner, Robert C. Myers +1
We employ holographic techniques to study quantum quenches at finite temperature, where the quenches involve varying the coupling of the boundary theory to a relevant operator with…
Rigorous Test of Non-conformal Holography: Wilson Loops in N=2* Theory
Alex Buchel, Jorge G. Russo, Konstantin Zarembo
N=2* gauge theory in four space-time dimensions arises as a deformation of the parent N=4 supersymmetric Yang-Mill theory under which its hypermultiplet acquires a mass. This theor…
