Dilatonic states, phase transitions, and criticality in holography
Daniel Elander, Maurizio Piai
The dilaton is the hypothetical scalar particle associated with spontaneous breaking of approximate scale invariance. It has been predicted to arise dynamically, as a bound state,…
Light dilaton near critical points in top-down holography
Daniel Elander, Antón F. Faedo, Maurizio Piai +2
We study a class of UV-complete, strongly coupled, confining three-dimensional field theories, that exhibit a novel stabilisation mechanism for the mass of the lightest scalar comp…
On Holographic Vacuum Misalignment
Daniel Elander, Ali Fatemiabhari, Maurizio Piai
We develop a bottom-up holographic model that provides the dual description of a strongly coupled field theory, in which the spontaneous breaking of an approximate global symmetry…
Toward minimal composite Higgs models from regular geometries in bottom-up holography
Daniel Elander, Ali Fatemiabhari, Maurizio Piai
We study a bottom-up, holographic description of a field theory yielding the spontaneous breaking of an approximate SO(5) global symmetry to its SO(4) subgroup. The weakly-coupled,…
Phase transitions and light scalars in bottom-up holography
Daniel Elander, Ali Fatemiabhari, Maurizio Piai
Within the bottom-up approach to holography, we construct a class of six-dimensional gravity models, and discuss solutions that can be interpreted, asymptotically in the far UV, in…
Towards top-down holographic composite Higgs: minimal coset from maximal supergravity
Daniel Elander, Maurizio Piai
Within the context of top-down holography, we study a one-parameter family of regular background solutions of maximal gauged supergravity in seven dimensions, dimensionally reduced…
