Hydrodynamics with Triangle Anomalies
Dam T. Son, Piotr Surowka
We consider the hydrodynamic regime of theories with quantum anomalies for global currents. We show that a hitherto discarded term in the conserve current is not only allowed by sy…
Conformality Lost
David B. Kaplan, Jong-Wan Lee, Dam T. Son +1
We consider zero-temperature transitions from conformal to non-conformal phases in quantum theories. We argue that there are three generic mechanisms for the loss of conformality i…
Spectral sum rules for the quark-gluon plasma
Paul Romatschke, Dam Thanh Son
We derive sum rules involving the spectral density of the stress-energy tensor in N=4 super-Yang-Mills theory and pure Yang-Mills theory. The sum rules come from the hydrodynamic b…
Thermal Noise and Stochastic Strings in AdS/CFT
Dam T. Son, Derek Teaney
We clarify the structure of thermal noise in AdS/CFT by studying the dynamics of an equilibrated heavy quark string. Using the Kruskal extension of the correspondence to generate t…
