Universality of Holographic Phase Transitions and Holographic Quantum Liquids
Paolo Benincasa
We explore the phase structure for defect theories in full generality using the gauge/gravity correspondence. On the gravity side, the systems are constructed by introducing M (pro…
A Note on Holographic Renormalization of Probe D-Branes
Paolo Benincasa
A great deal of progress has been recently made in the study of holography for non-conformal branes. Considering the near-horizon limit of backgrounds generated by such branes, we…
On the supergravity description of boost invariant conformal plasma at strong coupling
Paolo Benincasa, Alex Buchel, Michal P. Heller +1
We study string theory duals of the expanding boost invariant conformal gauge theory plasmas at strong coupling. The dual supergravity background is constructed as an asymptotic la…
Consistency Conditions on the S-Matrix of Massless Particles
Paolo Benincasa, Freddy Cachazo
We introduce a set of consistency conditions on the S-matrix of theories of massless particles of arbitrary spin in four-dimensional Minkowski space-time. We find that in most case…
Taming Tree Amplitudes In General Relativity
Paolo Benincasa, Camille Boucher-Veronneau, Freddy Cachazo
We give a proof of BCFW recursion relations for all tree-level amplitudes of gravitons in General Relativity. The proof follows the same basic steps as in the BCFW construction and…
The shear viscosity of gauge theory plasma with chemical potentials
Paolo Benincasa, Alex Buchel, Roman Naryshkin
We consider strongly coupled gauge theory plasma with conserved global charges that allow for a dual gravitational description. We study the shear viscosity of the gauge theory pla…
