Instability in $N = 4$ supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory on $S^{3}$ at finite density

Alex Buchel

Homogeneous and isotropic equilibrium states of strongly coupled $N = 4$ supersymmetric Yang-Mills charged plasma in $R^{3}$ with equal chemical potentials for the max…

Instability of 5D Gauss-Bonnet black branes

Alex Buchel, Raphael E. Hoult, Pavel Kovtun

We show that Gauss-Bonnet black branes in five-dimensional anti-de Sitter gravity are unstable when the Gauss-Bonnet coupling falls outside the range allowed by the conformal colli…

On the relevance of GIKS instability of charged N=4 SYM plasma

Alex Buchel

Recently Gladden, Ivo, Kovtun, and Starinets (GIKS) identified a novel instability of $N = 4$ supersymmetric Yang-Mills plasma with a diagonal $U (1)$ $R$ -symmetry chemical pot…

The ordered phase of charged N=4 SYM plasma from STU

Alex Buchel

In \cite{Buchel:2025cve} we numerically identified the ordered phase of the charged $N = 4$ supersymmetric Yang-Mills plasma. We explain here how this phase can be obtained an…
