Complexity measures in holographic cascading theories with multiscale dynamics
Carlos Nunez, Juan F. Pedraza, Javier G. Subils
Using the gravitational duals, we perform a systematic study of two notions of complexity in a family of three-dimensional gauge theories with rich infrared structure. For thermofi…
Microscopic Description of Critical Bubbles
Carlos Hoyos, David Mateos, Wilke van der Schee +1
First-order phase transitions occur through the nucleation of critical bubbles of the stable phase within the metastable phase. Using holography, we present a fully microscopic des…
Spontaneous breaking of baryon symmetry in strongly coupled three-dimensional theories
Antón F. Faedo, Carlos Hoyos, Javier G. Subils
We show that baryon number symmetry is spontaneously broken in a class of three-dimensional, supersymmetric theories with a discrete mass spectrum. These models serve…
On entanglement c-functions in confining gauge field theories
Niko Jokela, Jani Kastikainen, Carlos Nunez +3
Entanglement entropy has proven to be a powerful tool for probing renormalization group (RG) flows in quantum field theories, with c-functions derived from it serving as candidate…
Light dilaton near critical points in top-down holography
Daniel Elander, Antón F. Faedo, Maurizio Piai +2
We study a class of UV-complete, strongly coupled, confining three-dimensional field theories, that exhibit a novel stabilisation mechanism for the mass of the lightest scalar comp…
Cosmic censorship in a (dual) collider
Marc Aragonès Fontboté, David Mateos, Guillem Pérez Martín +2
We investigate cosmic censorship in anti-de Sitter space in holographic models in which the ground state is described by a good singularity. These include supersymmetric truncation…
Light holographic dilatons near critical points
Antón F. Faedo, Carlos Hoyos, Maurizio Piai +2
We investigate the relation between the emergence of a dilaton in gapped (confining) field theories, and the presence of either complex fixed points or instabilities in the strongl…
Limitations of entanglement entropy in detecting thermal phase transitions
Niko Jokela, Helime Ruotsalainen, Javier G. Subils
We explore the efficacy of entanglement entropy as a tool for detecting thermal phase transitions in a family of gauge theories described holographically. The rich phase diagram of…
Baryonic matter at strong coupling: confining superfluids and deconfined ferromagnets
Antón F. Faedo, Carlos Hoyos, Javier G. Subils
We study the phase diagram of a strongly coupled confining theory in dimensions, as a function of temperature and baryon chemical potential. The theory has a fully fledged su…
Monopoles and confinement in three dimensions from holography
Antón F. Faedo, Carlos Hoyos, Javier G. Subils
We study the phase diagram of a confining three-dimensional supersymmetric theory with holographic dual corresponding to a known st…
Boost-invariant superfluid flows
Ronnie Rodgers, Javier G. Subils
We present some exact solutions to the ideal hydrodynamics of a relativistic superfluid with an almost-conformal equation of state. The solutions have stress tensors which are inva…
Holographic approach to transport in dense QCD matter
Carlos Hoyos, Niko Jokela, Matti Järvinen +3
The transport properties of dense QCD matter play a crucial role in the physics of neutron stars and their mergers, but are notoriously difficult to study with traditional quantum…
Non-perturbative Aspects of Quantum Field Theories from Holography
Javier G. Subils
In this thesis we investigate some aspects of quantum field theories from a holographic perspective. In the first chapters we examine in detail a one-paremeter family of three-dime…
Multiple Mass Hierarchies from Complex Fixed Point Collisions
Anton F. Faedo, Carlos Hoyos, David Mateos +1
A pair of complex-conjugate fixed points that lie close to the real axis generates a large mass hierarchy in the real renormalization group flow that passes in between them. We sho…
Is entanglement a probe of confinement?
Niko Jokela, Javier G. Subils
We study various entanglement measures in a one-parameter family of three-dimensional, strongly coupled Yang-Mills-Chern-Simons field theories by means of their dual supergravity d…
Transport in strongly coupled quark matter
Carlos Hoyos, Niko Jokela, Matti Jarvinen +3
Motivated by the possible presence of deconfined quark matter in neutron stars and their mergers and the important role of transport phenomena in these systems, we perform the firs…
Phase transitions in a three-dimensional analogue of Klebanov-Strassler
Daniel Elander, Anton F. Faedo, David Mateos +1
We use top-down holography to study the thermodynamics of a one-parameter family of three-dimensional, strongly coupled Yang-Mills-Chern-Simons theories with M-theory duals. For ge…
Holographic Complex Conformal Field Theories
Anton F. Faedo, Carlos Hoyos, David Mateos +1
The loss of criticality in the form of weak first-order transitions or the end of the conformal window in gauge theories can be described as the merging of two fixed points that mo…
Mass spectrum of gapped, non-confining theories with multi-scale dynamics
Daniel Elander, Anton F. Faedo, David Mateos +2
We study the mass spectrum of spin-0 and spin-2 composite states in a one-parameter family of three-dimensional field theories by making use of their dual descriptions in terms of…
Mass Gap without Confinement
Antón F. Faedo, David Mateos, David Pravos +1
We revisit a one-parameter family of three-dimensional gauge theories with known supergravity duals. We show that three infrared behaviors are possible. For generic values of the p…
