Covariant unification of holographic c-functions

Niko Jokela, Jani Kastikainen, Carlos Nunez +2

We propose a covariant holographic c-function, defined directly in a top-down background and constructed from the extrinsic curvature of codimension-two slices of the bulk geometry…

Holographic Krylov Complexity for Charged, Composite and Extended Probes

Horatiu Nastase, Carlos Nunez, Dibakar Roychowdhury

We study the holographic spread/Krylov complexity of operators with non-trivial internal structure and of genuinely extended operators. We first consider a massive particle in AdS$…

Moduli space of Super Yang-Mills from AdS/CFT

Andrés Anabalón, Horatiu Nastase, Carlos Nunez +2

We study super Yang-Mills theory compactified on a circle at zero temperature, with VEVs for two scalar bilinears and three independent current sources. We show that t…

Twisted-Circle Compactifications of SQCD-like Theories and Holography

Niall T. Macpherson, Paul Merrikin, Carlos Nunez +1

We construct and analyse holographic duals to a class of four-dimensional N = 1 SU() SQCD-like theories compactified on a circle with an R-symmetry twist. The setup originates…

Marginally deformed AdS/CFT and spindle-like orbifolds

Niall T. Macpherson, Paul Merrikin, Carlos Nunez

We study marginal deformations of , long linear quiver CFTs using the holographic description. We find a two-parameter family of AdS solutions that genericall…

Dualising the Baryonic Branch: Dynamic SU(2) and confining backgrounds in IIA

Jerome Gaillard, Niall T. Macpherson, Carlos Nunez +1

In this paper we construct and examine new supersymmetric solutions of massive IIA supergravity that are obtained using non-Abelian T-duality applied to the Baryonic Branch of the…

Backreacting Flavors in the Klebanov-Strassler Background

Francesco Benini, Felipe Canoura, Stefano Cremonesi +2

In this paper we present new analytic solutions of pure Type IIB supergravity plus D7-branes describing the addition of an arbitrary number of flavors to the Klebanov-Tseytlin and…

Unquenched Flavors in the Klebanov-Witten Model

Francesco Benini, Felipe Canoura, Stefano Cremonesi +2

Using AdS/CFT, we study the addition of an arbitrary number of backreacting flavors to the Klebanov-Witten theory, making many checks of consistency between our new Type IIB plus b…
