A light dilaton in a metastable vacuum
Daniel Elander, Maurizio Piai, John Roughley
We identify a parametrically light dilaton by studying the perturbations of metastable vacua along a branch of regular supergravity backgrounds that are dual to four-dimensional co…
Dilatonic states near holographic phase transitions
Daniel Elander, Maurizio Piai, John Roughley
The spectrum of bound states of special strongly coupled confining field theories might include a parametrically light dilaton, associated with the formation of enhanced condensate…
Probing the holographic dilaton
Daniel Elander, Maurizio Piai, John Roughley
Many strongly coupled field theories admit a spectrum of gauge-invariant bound states that includes scalar particles with the same quantum numbers as the vacuum. The challenge natu…
Phase transitions in a three-dimensional analogue of Klebanov-Strassler
Daniel Elander, Anton F. Faedo, David Mateos +1
We use top-down holography to study the thermodynamics of a one-parameter family of three-dimensional, strongly coupled Yang-Mills-Chern-Simons theories with M-theory duals. For ge…
