Compactifications of the Klebanov-Witten CFT and new backgrounds
Yago Bea, Jose D. Edelstein, Georgios Itsios +4
In this paper we find various new backgrounds in Type IIB, IIA and M-theory with an -factor. The solutions are smooth and preserve small amounts of SUSY. These new backgroun…
Confinement, Phase Transitions and non-Locality in the Entanglement Entropy
Uri Kol, Carlos Nunez, Daniel Schofield +2
In this paper we study the conjectural relation between confinement in a quantum field theory and the presence of a phase transition in its corresponding entanglement entropy. We d…
Gauge/gravity dualities and bulk phase transitions
Anton F. Faedo, Maurizio Piai, Daniel Schofield
We consider D7-branes probing several classes of Type IIB supergravity backgrounds, and study the classical problem of finding equilibrium configurations for the embedding function…
On the stability of multi-scale models of dynamical symmetry breaking from holography
Anton F. Faedo, Maurizio Piai, Daniel Schofield
We consider two classes of backgrounds of Type IIB supergravity obtained by wrapping D5-branes on a two-cycle inside the conifold. The field theory dual exhibits confinement and, i…
The Structure of the Non-SUSY Baryonic Branch of Klebanov-Strassler
Stephen Bennett, Daniel Schofield
We study the two-dimensional space of supergravity solutions corresponding to non-supersymmetric deformations of the baryonic branch of Klebanov-Strassler. By combining analytical…
The Non-SUSY Baryonic Branch: Soft Supersymmetry Breaking of N=1 Gauge Theories
Stephen Bennett, Elena Caceres, Carlos Nunez +2
We study a non-supersymmetric deformation of the field theory dual to the baryonic branch of Klebanov-Strassler. Using a combination of analytical (series expansions) and numerical…
