A Holographic Prediction of the Deconfinement Temperature

Christopher P. Herzog

We argue that deconfinement in AdS/QCD models occurs via a first order Hawking-Page type phase transition between a low temperature thermal AdS space and a high temperature black h…

Energy Loss of Heavy Quarks from Asymptotically AdS Geometries

Christopher P. Herzog

We investigate some universal features of AdS/CFT models of heavy quark energy loss. In addition, as a specific example, we examine quark damping in the spinning D3-brane solution…

On the geometry of quiver gauge theories (Stacking exceptional collections)

Christopher P. Herzog, Robert L. Karp

In this paper we advance the program of using exceptional collections to understand the gauge theory description of a D-brane probing a Calabi-Yau singularity. To this end, we stre…

Energy loss of a heavy quark moving through N=4 supersymmetric Yang-Mills plasma

C. P. Herzog, A. Karch, P. Kovtun +2

We use the AdS/CFT correspondence to determine the rate of energy loss of a heavy quark moving through N=4 SU(N_c) supersymmetric Yang-Mills plasma at large 't Hooft coupling. Usin…

Brane Tilings and Exceptional Collections

Amihay Hanany, Christopher P. Herzog, David Vegh

Both brane tilings and exceptional collections are useful tools for describing the low energy gauge theory on a stack of D3-branes probing a Calabi-Yau singularity. We provide a di…
