Complexity measures in holographic cascading theories with multiscale dynamics
Carlos Nunez, Juan F. Pedraza, Javier G. Subils
Using the gravitational duals, we perform a systematic study of two notions of complexity in a family of three-dimensional gauge theories with rich infrared structure. For thermofi…
Microscopic Description of Critical Bubbles
Carlos Hoyos, David Mateos, Wilke van der Schee +1
First-order phase transitions occur through the nucleation of critical bubbles of the stable phase within the metastable phase. Using holography, we present a fully microscopic des…
Light dilaton near critical points in top-down holography
Daniel Elander, Antón F. Faedo, Maurizio Piai +2
We study a class of UV-complete, strongly coupled, confining three-dimensional field theories, that exhibit a novel stabilisation mechanism for the mass of the lightest scalar comp…
Spontaneous breaking of baryon symmetry in strongly coupled three-dimensional theories
Antón F. Faedo, Carlos Hoyos, Javier G. Subils
We show that baryon number symmetry is spontaneously broken in a class of three-dimensional, supersymmetric theories with a discrete mass spectrum. These models serve…
On entanglement c-functions in confining gauge field theories
Niko Jokela, Jani Kastikainen, Carlos Nunez +3
Entanglement entropy has proven to be a powerful tool for probing renormalization group (RG) flows in quantum field theories, with c-functions derived from it serving as candidate…
Cosmic censorship in a (dual) collider
Marc Aragonès Fontboté, David Mateos, Guillem Pérez MartÃn +2
We investigate cosmic censorship in anti-de Sitter space in holographic models in which the ground state is described by a good singularity. These include supersymmetric truncation…
