Emergent Quantum Near-Criticality from Baryonic Black Branes
Christopher P. Herzog, Igor R. Klebanov, Silviu S. Pufu +1
We find new black 3-brane solutions describing the "conifold gauge theory" at nonzero temperature and baryonic chemical potential. Of particular interest is the low-temperature lim…
Superconductors from Superstrings
Steven S. Gubser, Christopher P. Herzog, Silviu S. Pufu +1
We establish that in a large class of strongly coupled 3+1 dimensional N=1 quiver conformal field theories with gravity duals, adding a chemical potential for the R-charge leads to…
Quantum critical superconductors in string theory and M-theory
Steven S. Gubser, Silviu S. Pufu, Fabio D. Rocha
We construct zero-temperature solutions of supergravity theories in five and four dimensions which interpolate between two copies of anti-de Sitter space, one of which preserves an…
The Squashed, Stretched, and Warped Gets Perturbed
Igor R. Klebanov, Silviu S. Pufu, Fabio D. Rocha
We use direct Kaluza-Klein reduction to calculate the spectrum of spin-2 modes around a warped product of AdS_4 and a certain squashed and stretched 7-sphere. The modes turn out to…
The Second Sound of SU(2)
Christopher P. Herzog, Silviu S. Pufu
Using the AdS/CFT correspondence, we calculate the transport coefficients of a strongly interacting system with a non-abelian SU(2) global symmetry near a second order phase transi…
Off-center collisions in AdS_5 with applications to multiplicity estimates in heavy-ion collisions
Steven S. Gubser, Silviu S. Pufu, Amos Yarom
We study the trapped surface produced by an off-center collision of light-like, point-sourced shock waves in anti-de Sitter space. We find an analytic expression for the shape of t…
