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…
