Open Wilson Lines and Chiral Condensates in Thermal Holographic QCD
Philip C. Argyres, Mohammad Edalati, Robert G. Leigh +1
We investigate various aspects of a proposal by Aharony and Kutasov arXiv:0803.3547 [hep-th] for the gravity dual of an open Wilson line in the Sakai-Sugimoto model or its non-comp…
Origin of the Mott Gap
R. G. Leigh, Philip Phillips
We show exactly that the only charged excitations that exist in the strong-coupling limit of the half-filled Hubbard model are gapped composite excitations generated by the dynamic…
Torsion and the Gravity Dual of Parity Symmetry Breaking in AdS4/CFT3 Holography
Robert G. Leigh, Nam N. Hoang, Anastasios C. Petkou
We study four dimensional gravity with a negative cosmological constant deformed by the Nieh-Yan torsional topological invariant with a spacetime-dependent coefficient. We find an…
Transversely-intersecting D-branes at finite temperature and chiral phase transition
Mohammad Edalati, Robert G. Leigh, Nam Nguyen Hoang
We consider Sakai-Sugimoto like models consisting of Dq-Dp-anti-Dp-branes where flavor Dp and anti-Dp-branes transversely intersect color Dq-branes along two (r+1)-dimensional subs…
Topological Entanglement Entropy in Chern-Simons Theories and Quantum Hall Fluids
Shiying Dong, Eduardo Fradkin, Robert G. Leigh +1
We compute directly the entanglement entropy of spatial regions in Chern-Simons gauge theories in 2+1 dimensions using surgery. We use these results to determine the universal topo…
Breakdown of Fermi Liquid Theory in Doped Mott Insulators by Dynamical Spectral Weight Transfer
Philip Phillips, Ting-Pong Choy, Robert G. Leigh
We show that doped Mott insulators exhibit a collective degree of freedom, not made out of the elemental excitations, because the number of single-particle addition states at low e…
On the spectrum of pure Yang-Mills theory
Laurent Freidel, Robert G. Leigh, Djordje Minic +1
In this note we discuss the wave functional approach to the spectrum of pure Yang-Mills theory in 2+1 and 3+1 dimensions by highlighting the issues of dynamical mass generation and…
