Thermal Dynamics of Quarks and Mesons in N=2* Yang-Mills Theory
Tameem Albash, Clifford V. Johnson
We study the dynamics of quenched fundamental matter in supersymmetric large Yang-Mills theory, extending our earlier work to finite temperatur…
Phases of Holographic Superconductors in an External Magnetic Field
Tameem Albash, Clifford V. Johnson
We study a 2+1 dimensional model of superconductors using a 3+1 dimensional gravitational dual theory of a black hole coupled to a scalar field, with negative cosmological constant…
Universality in the Large N_c Dynamics of Flavour: Thermal Vs. Quantum Induced Phase Transitions
Veselin G. Filev, Clifford V. Johnson
We show how two important types of phase transition in large N_c gauge theory with fundamental flavours can be cast into the same classifying framework as the meson-melting phase t…
External Fields and Chiral Symmetry Breaking in the Sakai-Sugimoto Model
Clifford V. Johnson, Arnab Kundu
Using the Sakai-Sugimoto model we study the effect of an external magnetic field on the dynamics of fundamental flavours in both the confined and deconfined phases of a large N_c g…
Heterotic Coset Models of Microscopic Strings and Black Holes
Clifford V. Johnson
Following a recent conjecture by Lapan, Simons and Strominger, we revisit and discuss an intrinsically heterotic class of conformal field theories, emphasizing their Lagrangian con…
Flavoured Large N Gauge Theory in an External Magnetic Field
Veselin G. Filev, Clifford V. Johnson, R. C. Rashkov +1
We consider a D7-brane probe of AdS in the presence of pure gauge -field. In the dual gauge theory, the -field couples to the fundamental matter introduced by…
