Surveying the theory space of pion dark matter
Anja Alfano, Nick Evans, Suchita Kulkarni +1
We use a holographic model to survey the space of strongly coupled SU(Nc) gauge dynamics with QCD-like chiral symmetry breaking pattern for quarks in the fundamental representation…
Chiral symmetry restoration for helical magnetic fields in holography
Nick Evans, Wanxiang Fan
We study the chiral symmetry breaking effects of helical magnetic fields in a simple bottom up AdS/CFT model. We explore the instability of the chirally symmetric solution in the p…
Holography for QCD(Adj) and QCD(Adj)+F
Anja Alfano, Nick Evans, Wanxiang Fan
We discuss confinement and chiral symmetry breaking in SU(Nc) gauge theories with fermions in the adjoint representation. There has been considerable work on studying these theorie…
Scale Separation, Strong Coupling UV Phases, and the Identification of the Edge of the Conformal Window
Anja Alfano, Nick Evans
We use a simple holographic model to discuss approaching the edge of the conformal window in strongly coupled gauge theories to draw lessons for lattice studies. Walking gauge theo…
