Phases and Phase transitions of U(1)SU(2) symmetric holographic matter
Matti Järvinen, Elias Kiritsis, Francesco Nitti +1
The phase diagram and symmetry breaking patterns of a holographic CFT with U(1)SU(2) symmetry are analyzed using the simplest holographic action, namely Einstein-Yang-Mills…
On holographic confining QFTs on AdS
Ahmad Ghodsi, Elias Kiritsis, Francesco Nitti
Holographic quantum field theories that confine in flat space, are considered on a fixed AdS space. The space of holographic solutions for such theories is constructed and three ty…
Matching the Vilkovisky-DeWitt Effective Action of Quantum Gravity to String Theory
Xavier Calmet, Elias Kiritsis, Folkert Kuipers +1
In this work, we discuss the matching of the Vilkovisky-DeWitt effective action of quantum gravity to an example of an ultra-violet complete theory of quantum gravity. We show how…
Scattering, Absorption and Emission of Highly Excited Strings
Maurizio Firrotta, Elias Kiritsis, Vasilis Niarchos
We study tree-level scattering processes of arbitrary string states using the DDF formalism and suitable coherent vertex operators. We obtain new exact compact formulae for heavy-h…
