Microscopic Description of Critical Bubbles
Carlos Hoyos, David Mateos, Wilke van der Schee +1
First-order phase transitions occur through the nucleation of critical bubbles of the stable phase within the metastable phase. Using holography, we present a fully microscopic des…

Spontaneous breaking of baryon symmetry in strongly coupled three-dimensional theories
Antón F. Faedo, Carlos Hoyos, Javier G. Subils
We show that baryon number symmetry is spontaneously broken in a class of three-dimensional, supersymmetric theories with a discrete mass spectrum. These models serve…

Light holographic dilatons near critical points
Antón F. Faedo, Carlos Hoyos, Maurizio Piai +2
We investigate the relation between the emergence of a dilaton in gapped (confining) field theories, and the presence of either complex fixed points or instabilities in the strongl…
