Holographic Spread Complexity at Fixed Charge: Routhians, Branes and Strings

Dimitrios Chatzis, Madison Hammond, Carlos Nunez +2

Holographic spread (Krylov) complexity relates the growth of a boundary state's complexity to the proper radial momentum of a probe falling into the bulk. Unitary evolution makes s…

Size Operator and Spectral Clustering in the Two Coupled SYK Model

Juan Santos-Suárez, Martí Berenguer, Javier Mas +1

At large , two coupled Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev models realize an eternal traversable wormhole with a discrete spectrum. We show that at finite the spectrum organizes into clusters…

Holographic Spread Complexity from Branes and Strings

Dimitrios Chatzis, Madison Hammond, Carlos Nunez +2

We study Krylov spread complexity in holographic theories using genuine string-theory probes. Building on the proposal that the growth rate of spread complexity is measured by a pr…

Chiral symmetry breaking and restoration by helical magnetic fields in AdS/CFT

Martí Berenguer, Javier Mas, Masataka Matsumoto +2

We study the effects of helical magnetic fields on chiral symmetry breaking within the AdS/QCD framework using the D3/D7-brane model. By analyzing the brane embeddings, we obtain t…

Hot wormholes and chaos dynamics in a two-coupled SYK model

Martí Berenguer, Javier Mas, Juan Santos-Suárez +1

We study the dynamics of chaos across the phase transition in a 2-coupled Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev (SYK) model, with a focus on the unstable "hot wormhole" phase. Using the Schwinger-Keld…

Floquet SYK wormholes

Martí Berenguer, Anshuman Dey, Javier Mas +2

We study the non-equilibrium dynamics of two coupled SYK models, conjectured to be holographically dual to an eternal traversable wormhole in AdS. We consider different periodi…

Holographic Floquet states in low dimensions (II)

Martí Berenguer, Ana Garbayo, Javier Mas +1

We continue the study in [1] of a strongly coupled (2+1)-dimensional gauge theory subject to an external rotating electric field. The system is modelled holographically as a D3/D5…

Flavored anisotropic black holes

Ana Garbayo, Carlos Hoyos, Niko Jokela +2

We construct a black hole geometry dual to a (2+1)-dimensional defect in an ambient (3+1)-dimensional gauge theory at non-zero temperature and quark density. The geometry is a solu…

Risking your NEC

Carlos Hoyos, Niko Jokela, Jose Manuel Penín +2

Energy conditions, especially the null energy condition (NEC), are generically imposed on solutions to retain a physically sensible classical field theory and they also play an imp…

Holographic Floquet states in low dimensions (I)

Ana Garbayo, Javier Mas, Alfonso V. Ramallo

We study the response of a (2+1)-dimensional gauge theory to an external rotating electric field. In the strong coupling regime such system is formulated holographically in a top-d…
