Extending the scope of holographic mutual information and chaotic behavior
Nilanjan Sircar, Jacob Sonnenschein, Walter Tangarife
We extend the use of holography to investigate the scrambling properties of various physical systems. Specifically, we consider: (i) non-conformal backgrounds of black branes,…
New knotted solutions of Maxwell's equations
Carlos Hoyos, Nilanjan Sircar, Jacob Sonnenschein
In this note we have further developed the study of topologically non-trivial solutions of vacuum electrodynamics. We have discovered a novel method of generating such solutions by…
Extremal Horizons with Reduced Symmetry: Hyperscaling Violation, Stripes, and a Classification for the Homogeneous Case
Norihiro Iizuka, Shamit Kachru, Nilay Kundu +4
Classifying the zero-temperature ground states of quantum field theories with finite charge density is a very interesting problem. Via holography, this problem is mapped to the cla…
Entangled Dilaton Dyons
Nilay Kundu, Prithvi Narayan, Nilanjan Sircar +1
Einstein-Maxwell theory coupled to a dilaton is known to give rise to extremal solutions with hyperscaling violation. We study the behaviour of these solutions in the presence of a…
Bianchi Attractors: A Classification of Extremal Black Brane Geometries
Norihiro Iizuka, Shamit Kachru, Nilay Kundu +3
Extremal black branes are of interest because they correspond to the ground states of field theories at finite charge density in gauge/gravity duality. The geometry of such a brane…
Strong Coupling BCS Superconductivity and Holography
S. Kalyana Rama, Swarnendu Sarkar, B. Sathiapalan +1
We attempt to give a holographic description of the microscopic theory of a BCS superconductor. Exploiting the analogy with chiral symmetry breaking in QCD we use the Sakai-Sugimot…
Properties of CFTs dual to Charged BTZ black-hole
Debaprasad Maity, Swarnendu Sarkar, B. Sathiapalan +2
We study properties of strongly coupled CFT's with non-zero background electric charge in 1+1 dimensions by studying the dual gravity theory - which is a charged BTZ black hole. Co…
Can the Hagedorn Phase Transition be explained from Matrix Model for Strings?
B. Sathiapalan, Nilanjan Sircar
The partition function of BFSS matrix model is studied for two different classical backgrounds upto 1-loop level. One of the backgrounds correspond to a membrane wrapped around a c…
