Continuous Hawking-Page transitions in Einstein-scalar gravity
Umut Gursoy
We investigate continuous Hawking-Page transitions in Einstein's gravity coupled to a scalar field with an arbitrary potential in the weak gravity limit. We show that this is only…
Gravity/Spin-model correspondence and holographic superfluids
Umut Gursoy
We propose a general correspondence between gravity and spin models, inspired by the well-known IR equivalence between lattice gauge theories and the spin models. This suggests a c…
Improved Holographic QCD
Umut Gürsoy, Elias Kiritsis, Liuba Mazzanti +2
We provide a review to holographic models based on Einstein-dilaton gravity with a potential in 5 dimensions. Such theories, for a judicious choice of potential are very close to t…
Langevin diffusion of heavy quarks in non-conformal holographic backgrounds
U. Gursoy, E. Kiritsis, L. Mazzanti +1
The Langevin diffusion process of a relativistic heavy quark in a non-conformal holographic setup is discussed. The bulk geometry is a general, five-dimensional asymptotically AdS…
