Subtleties of non-Abelian D-brane actions and their effect on holographic heavy-light meson spectra
Carlos Hoyos, Niko Jokela, Andrea Olzi
We revisit the holographic description of heavy light mesons in the D3-D7 system at zero temperature, analyzing the dynamics of the coupled probe D7 branes through the non-Abelian…
Entanglement C-functions of defects and interfaces in supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory
Niko Jokela, Jani Kastikainen, José Manuel Penín +2
We consider planar codimension-one defects and interfaces in supersymmetric Yang-Mills (SYM) theory, realized by the D3/D5-brane intersection. Working in the probe…
Testing the effective action approach to bubble nucleation in holography
Oscar Henriksson, Niko Jokela, Xin Li
The nucleation of bubbles during a first-order phase transition has recently been explored using holographic duality, which can provide an important complement to standard perturba…
Locating the QCD critical point with neutron-star observations
Christian Ecker, Niko Jokela, Matti Järvinen
We present a probabilistic model for the QCD critical endpoint (CEP) and the equation of state (EOS) at -equilibrium, constrained by neutron-star observations. Using a hybrid fr…
On entanglement c-functions in confining gauge field theories
Niko Jokela, Jani Kastikainen, Carlos Nunez +3
Entanglement entropy has proven to be a powerful tool for probing renormalization group (RG) flows in quantum field theories, with c-functions derived from it serving as candidate…
Bulk metric reconstruction from entanglement data via minimal surface area variations
Niko Jokela, Tony Liimatainen, Miika Sarkkinen +1
We investigate the reconstruction of asymptotically anti-de Sitter (AdS) bulk geometries from boundary entanglement entropy data for ball-shaped entangling regions. By deriving an…
