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…
Holographic models of composite Higgs in the Veneziano limit. Part I. Bosonic sector
Daniel Elander, Michele Frigerio, Marc Knecht +1
We study strongly-coupled, approximately scale-invariant gauge theories, which develop a mass gap in the infrared. We argue that a large number of fermion flavours is most suitable…
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…
