Instanton condensation and a new phase of BPS black holes

Jack Holden

We analyse the 1/16-BPS superconformal index for BPS black holes at equal charge in , uncovering evidence for a new instability in the microcanonical ensemble alo…

Supersymmetric Holomorphic Masses in AdS/CFT with Flavour

Pietro Capuozzo, Jack Holden, Andy O'Bannon +3

In type IIB supergravity (SUGRA), in the extremal background of a number N_c of D3-branes we consider a number N_f of probe D7-branes extended along all four D3-brane directions, (…

New phases in QCD at finite temperature and chemical potential

Masanori Hanada, Jack Holden, Hiromasa Watanabe

Understanding the phases of quantum chromodynamics (QCD) at finite temperature and baryon density is crucial for describing matter in heavy-ion collisions and the interior of neutr…

Wilson Loops and Random Matrices

Georg Bergner, Vaibhav Gautam, Masanori Hanada +1

Linear confinement with Casimir scaling of the string tension in confining gauge theories is a consequence of a certain property of the Polyakov loop related to random matrices. Th…

Linear confinement in the partially-deconfined phase

Vaibhav Gautam, Masanori Hanada, Jack Holden +1

We consider the partially-deconfined saddle of large- pure Yang-Mills theory lying between confined and deconfined phases, in which the color degrees of freedom split into confi…

Global Symmetries and Partial Confinement

Masanori Hanada, Jack Holden, Matthew Knaggs +1

In gauge theories, spontaneous breaking of the centre symmetry provides a precise definition of deconfinement. In large- gauge theories, evidence has emerged recently that betwe…
