Testing the effective action approach to bubble nucleation in holography

Oscar Henriksson, Niko Jokela, Xin Li

The nucleation of bubbles during a first-order phase transition has recently been explored using holographic duality, which can provide an important complement to standard perturba…

Dynamics of a Higgs phase transition in the Klebanov-Witten theory

Oscar Henriksson, Niko Jokela, Julia Junttila

We study the dynamics of a first-order phase transition in a strongly coupled gauge theory at non-zero temperature and chemical potential, computing nucleation rates and wall speed…

Spinodal slowing down and scaling in a holographic model

Alessio Caddeo, Oscar Henriksson, Carlos Hoyos +1

The dynamics of first-order phase transitions in strongly coupled systems are relevant in a variety of systems, from heavy ion collisions to the early universe. Holographic theorie…

Higgs phases at non-zero density from holography

Oscar Henriksson, Antti Hippeläinen, Carlos Hoyos +2

We show how Higgs phases at non-zero density can be described using a simple analytic method for gauge theories possessing a holographic dual. We introduce co-dimension one branes…

A stringy realization of a small and positive cosmological constant in dark bubble cosmology

Ulf Danielsson, Oscar Henriksson, Daniel Panizo

In this paper we construct a stringy embedding of the dark bubble model of an expanding 4D cosmology with the help of branes rotating in extra dimensions. The universe rides a bubb…

Effective actions and bubble nucleation from holography

Fëanor Reuben Ares, Oscar Henriksson, Mark Hindmarsh +2

We discuss the computation of the quantum effective action of strongly interacting field theories using holographic duality, and its use to determine quasi-equilibrium parameters o…

Black brane evaporation through D-brane bubble nucleation

Oscar Henriksson

We study the process of black brane evaporation through the emission of D-branes. Gravitational solutions describing black branes in asymptotically anti-de Sitter spacetimes, which…

Brane nucleation instabilities in non-AdS/non-CFT

Oscar Henriksson, Carlos Hoyos, Niko Jokela

We speculate that the weak gravity conjecture applied to theories with holographic duals bans the existence of disordered phases at zero temperature. We test this idea by introduci…

Novel color superconducting phases of = 4 super Yang-Mills at strong coupling

Oscar Henriksson, Carlos Hoyos, Niko Jokela

We revisit the large- phase diagram of = 4 super Yang-Mills theory at finite -charge density and strong coupling, by means of the AdS/CFT correspondence. We conje…

Gapped Fermions in Top-down Holographic Superconductors

Oliver DeWolfe, Steven S. Gubser, Oscar Henriksson +1

We use holography to compute spectral functions of certain fermionic operators in three different finite-density, zero-temperature states of ABJM theory with a broken U(1) symmetry…

Fermi surface behavior in the ABJM M2-brane theory

Oliver DeWolfe, Oscar Henriksson, Christopher Rosen

We calculate fermionic Green's functions for states of the three-dimensional ABJM M2-brane theory at large N using the gauge-gravity correspondence. We embed extremal black brane s…
