Quantum Field Theory, Black Holes and Holography
Chethan Krishnan
These notes are an expanded version of lectures given at the Croatian School on Black Holes at Trpanj, June 21-25, 2010. The aim is to provide a practical introduction to quantum f…
Type IIB Holographic Superfluid Flows
Daniel Arean, Matteo Bertolini, Chethan Krishnan +1
We construct fully backreacted holographic superfluid flow solutions in a five-dimensional theory that arises as a consistent truncation of low energy type IIB string theory. We co…
Vortices in (2+1)d Conformal Fluids
Jarah Evslin, Chethan Krishnan
We study isolated, stationary, axially symmetric vortex solutions in (2+1)-dimensional viscous conformal fluids. The equations describing them can be brought to the form of three c…
The Many Phases of Holographic Superfluids
Daniel Arean, Pallab Basu, Chethan Krishnan
We investigate holographic superfluids in AdS_{d+1} with d=3,4 in the non-backreacted approximation for various masses of the scalar field. In d=3 the phase structure is universal…
Black Hole Vacua and Rotation
Chethan Krishnan
Recent developments suggest that the near-region of rotating black holes behaves like a CFT. To understand this better, I propose to study quantum fields in this region. An instruc…
Hidden Conformal Symmetries of Five-Dimensional Black Holes
Chethan Krishnan
Recently it was shown by Castro, Maloney and Strominger (CMS) that 4D Kerr black holes have a "hidden" conformal symmetry. Using some old results of Cvetic and Larsen, I show that…
