Color Superconductivity at Large N: A New Hope
Michael I. Buchoff, Aleksey Cherman, Thomas D. Cohen
At zero density, the `t Hooft large N_c limit often provides some very useful qualitative insights into the non-perturbative physics of QCD. However, it is known that at high densi…
Tests of Universality of Baryon Form Factors in Holographic QCD
A. Cherman, T. D. Cohen, M. Nielsen
We describe a new exact relation for large QCD for the long-distance behavior of baryon form factors in the chiral limit, satisfied by all 4D semi-classical chiral soliton mo…
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…
Can fermions save large N dimensional reduction?
Paulo F. Bedaque, Michael I. Buchoff, Aleksey Cherman +1
This paper explores whether Eguchi-Kawai reduction for gauge theories with adjoint fermions is valid. The Eguchi-Kawai reduction relates gauge theories in different numbers of dime…
