Superconductors from Superstrings
Steven S. Gubser, Christopher P. Herzog, Silviu S. Pufu +1
We establish that in a large class of strongly coupled 3+1 dimensional N=1 quiver conformal field theories with gravity duals, adding a chemical potential for the R-charge leads to…
The gravity dual to a quantum critical point with spontaneous symmetry breaking
Steven S. Gubser, Fabio D. Rocha
We consider zero temperature solutions to the Abelian Higgs model coupled to gravity with a negative cosmological constant. With appropriate choices of parameters, the geometry con…
Colorful horizons with charge in anti-de Sitter space
Steven S. Gubser
An abelian gauge symmetry can be spontaneously broken near a black hole horizon in anti-de Sitter space using a condensate of non-abelian gauge fields. There is a second order phas…
Energy disturbances due to a moving quark from gauge-string duality
Steven S. Gubser, Silviu S. Pufu, Amos Yarom
Using AdS/CFT, we calculate the energy density of a quark moving through a thermal state of N=4 super-Yang-Mills theory. Relying on previous work for momentum-space representations…
