Topological charges and confined-deconfined phase transition in holography

Nelson R. F. Braga, William S. Cunha

In recent years, many interesting works providing a topological description for black hole (BH) properties have appeared in the literature. In particular, in this framework BHs cor…

Hawking-Page transition in anti-de Sitter massive gravity with non-compact spatial boundary

Nelson R. F. Braga, William S. Cunha

In gauge/gravity duality, the Hawking Page (HP) process plays the important role of representing a confined/deconfined phase transition. For spaces that are asymptotically anti-de…

Holography and charmonium structure in a finite density plasma

Nelson R. F. Braga, William S. Cunha, Yan F. Ferreira

It has recently been proposed that the extra dimension in holographic models for charmoniun is related to its internal structure. Representing the interaction between the quark ant…

Holographic QCD phase diagram for a rotating plasma in the Hawking-Page approach

Nelson R. F. Braga, Octavio C. Junqueira

We investigate the combined effect of rotation and finite chemical potential in the confinement/deconfinement transition of strongly interacting matter. The holographic description…

Holography and the internal structure of charmonium

Nelson R. F. Braga, Yan F. Ferreira, William S. Cunha

Holographic models that consider classical vector fields in a 5-d background provide successful effective descriptions for heavy vector meson spectra. This holds both in the vacuum…
