All you need is N: Baryon spectroscopy in two large N limits

Aleksey Cherman, Thomas D. Cohen, Richard F. Lebed

The generalization of QCD to many colors is not unique; each distinct choice corresponds to a distinct 1/N_c expansion. The familiar 't Hooft N_c -> \infty limit places quarks in t…

Universal relations of transport coefficients from holography

Aleksey Cherman, Abhinav Nellore

We show that there are universal high-temperature relations for transport coefficients of plasmas described by a wide class of field theories with gravity duals. These theories can…

A bound on the speed of sound from holography

Aleksey Cherman, Thomas D. Cohen, Abhinav Nellore

We show that the squared speed of sound v_{s}^{2} is bounded from above at high temperatures by the conformal value of 1/3 in a class of strongly coupled four-dimensional field the…

Model Independent Tests of Skyrmions and Their Holographic Cousins

Aleksey Cherman, Thomas D. Cohen, Marina Nielsen

We describe a new exact relation for large QCD for the long-distance behavior of baryon form factors in the chiral limit. This model-independent relation is used to test the…

A sticky business: the status of the conjectured viscosity/entropy density bound

Aleksey Cherman, Thomas D. Cohen, Paul M. Hohler

There have been a number of forms of a conjecture that there is a universal lower bound on the ratio, eta/s, of the shear viscosity, eta, to entropy density, s, with several differ…

Strange results from chiral soliton models

Aleksey Cherman, Thomas D. Cohen

The standard collective quantization treatment of the strangeness content of the nucleon in chiral soliton models such as the Skyrmion is shown to be inconsistent with the semi-cla…
