Holographic Viscosity of Fundamental Matter
David Mateos, Robert C. Myers, Rowan M. Thomson
A holographic dual of a finite-temperature SU(N_c) gauge theory with a small number of flavours N_f << N_c typically contains D-branes in a black hole background. By considering th…
Holographic mesons in various dimensions
Robert C. Myers, Rowan M. Thomson
We calculate the spectrum of fluctuations of a probe Dk-brane in the background of N Dp-branes, for k=p,p+2,p+4 and p< 5. The result corresponds to the mesonic spectrum of a (p+1)-…
Holographic Phase Transitions with Fundamental Matter
David Mateos, Robert C. Myers, Rowan M. Thomson
The holographic dual of a finite-temperature gauge theory with a small number of flavours typically contains D-brane probes in a black hole background. At low temperature the brane…
Confinement engineering of s-d exchange interactions in GaMnAs quantum wells
N. P. Stern, R. C. Myers, M. Poggio +2
Recent measurements of coherent electron spin dynamics reveal an antiferromagnetic s-d exchange coupling between conduction band electrons and electrons localized on Mn{2+} impurit…
Black Rings, Boosted Strings and Gregory-Laflamme
J. L. Hovdebo, R. C. Myers
We investigate the Gregory-Laflamme instability for black strings carrying KK-momentum along the internal direction. We demonstrate a simple kinematical relation between the thresh…
Instability of non-supersymmetric smooth geometries
V. Cardoso, O. J. C. Dias, J. L. Hovdebo +1
Recently certain non-supersymmetric solutions of type IIb supergravity were constructed [hep-th/0504181], which are everywhere smooth, have no horizons and are thought to describe…
