Multitrace deformations, Gamow states, and Stability of AdS/CFT
Luca Vecchi
We analyze the effect of multitrace deformations in conformal field theories at leading order in a large N approximation. These theories admit a description in terms of a weakly co…
The Conformal Window of deformed CFT's in the planar limit
Luca Vecchi
We discuss in the planar approximation the effect of double-trace deformations on CFT's. We show that this large class of models posses a conformal window describing a non-trivial…
On the stability of thick brane worlds non-minimally coupled to gravity
A. A. Andrianov, Luca Vecchi
We analyze a class of 5D models where a 3 brane is generated by a bulk scalar field non minimally coupled to gravity. We show that perturbative stability of such branes is normally…
Massive states as the relevant deformations of gravitating branes
Luca Vecchi
Five-dimensional theories manifesting spontaneous brane generation are discussed in a gravitational context. Without gravity, the IR dynamics of the brane fluctuation below the bra…
