Flavor-symmetry Breaking with Charged Probes
Joshua L. Davis, Namshik Kim
We discuss the recombination of brane/anti-brane pairs carrying brane charge in . These configurations are dual to co-dimension one defects in the ${\cal N}=…
Holographic Fermionic Fixed Points in d=3
Joshua L. Davis, Hamid Omid, Gordon W. Semenoff
We present a top-down string theory holographic model of strongly interacting relativistic 2+1-dimensional fermions, paying careful attention to the discrete symmetries of parity a…
Twisted Inflation
Joshua L. Davis, Thomas S. Levi, Mark Van Raamsdonk +1
We present a new mechanism for slow-roll inflation based on higher dimensional supersymmetric gauge theory compactified to four dimensions with twisted (supersymmetry breaking) bou…
Gravity Dual of a Quantum Hall Plateau Transition
Joshua L. Davis, Per Kraus, Akhil Shah
We show how to model the transition between distinct quantum Hall plateaus in terms of D-branes in string theory. A low energy theory of 2+1 dimensional fermions is obtained by con…
String Theory Effects on Five-Dimensional Black Hole Physics
Alejandra Castro, Joshua L. Davis, Per Kraus +1
We review recent developments in understanding quantum/string corrections to BPS black holes and strings in five-dimensional supergravity. These objects are solutions to the effect…
Stringy NJL and Gross-Neveu models at finite density and temperature
Joshua L. Davis, Michael Gutperle, Per Kraus +1
Nonlocal stringy versions of the Nambu-Jona-Lasinio and Gross-Neveu models arise in a certain limit of holographic QCD. We analyze the phase structure at finite density and tempera…
