Non-perturbative aspects of gauge theories from gauge-gravity dualities
John Roughley
We consider two established supergravities which are known to provide the low-energy effective description of either superstring theory or M-theory: the six-dimensional theory of R…
The Coulomb branch of N=4 SYM and dilatonic scions in supergravity
Daniel Elander, Maurizio Piai, John Roughley
We find a parametrically light dilaton in special confining theories in three dimensions. Their duals form what we call a scion of solutions to the supergravity associated with the…
A light dilaton in a metastable vacuum
Daniel Elander, Maurizio Piai, John Roughley
We identify a parametrically light dilaton by studying the perturbations of metastable vacua along a branch of regular supergravity backgrounds that are dual to four-dimensional co…
Dilatonic states near holographic phase transitions
Daniel Elander, Maurizio Piai, John Roughley
The spectrum of bound states of special strongly coupled confining field theories might include a parametrically light dilaton, associated with the formation of enhanced condensate…
Probing the holographic dilaton
Daniel Elander, Maurizio Piai, John Roughley
Many strongly coupled field theories admit a spectrum of gauge-invariant bound states that includes scalar particles with the same quantum numbers as the vacuum. The challenge natu…
Holographic glueballs from the circle reduction of Romans supergravity
Daniel Elander, Maurizio Piai, John Roughley
We reconsider a one-parameter class of known solutions of the circle compactification of Romans six-dimensional half-maximal supergravity. The gauge-theory duals of these solutions…
