On the pp-wave limit and the BMN structure of new Sasaki-Einstein spaces
Stanislav Kuperstein, Oded Mintkevich, Jacob Sonnenschein
We construct the pp-wave string associated with the Penrose limit of and families of Sasaki-Einstein geometries. We identify in the dual quiver gauge theories…
Holographic melting and related properties of mesons in a quark gluon plasma
Kasper Peeters, Jacob Sonnenschein, Marija Zamaklar
We analyse mesons at finite temperature in a chiral, confining string dual. The temperature dependence of low-spin as well as high-spin meson masses is shown to exhibit a pattern f…
A holographic model of deconfinement and chiral symmetry restoration
Ofer Aharony, Jacob Sonnenschein, Shimon Yankielowicz
We analyze the finite temperature behavior of the Sakai-Sugimoto model, which is a holographic dual of a theory which spontaneously breaks a U(N_f)_L x U(N_f)_R chiral flavor symme…
