Minimal Walking Technicolour, the Top Mass and Precision Electroweak Measurements
N. Evans, F. Sannino
We consider a minimal technicolour theory with two techniflavours in the adjoint representation of an SU(2) technicolour gauge group which has been argued to feature walking dynami…
Scalar effective potential for D7 brane probes which break chiral symmetry
Riccardo Apreda, Johanna Erdmenger, Nick Evans
We consider D7 brane probes embedded in deformed AdS5 x S5 supergravity backgrounds which are non-supersymmetric in the interior. In the context of the generalised AdS/CFT correspo…
Towards a Perfect QCD Gravity Dual
Nick Evans, Jonathan P. Shock, Tom Waterson
Many examples of gravitational duals exist of theories that are highly supersymmetric and conformal in the UV yet have the same massless states as {\cal N}=2,1,0 QCD. We discuss su…
Strong coupling effective Higgs potential and a first order thermal phase transition from AdS/CFT duality
Riccardo Apreda, Johanna Erdmenger, Nick Evans +1
We use AdS/CFT duality to study the thermodynamics of a strongly coupled N=2 supersymmetric large Nc SU(Nc) gauge theory with Nf =2 fundamental hypermultiplets. At finite temperatu…
D7 Brane Embeddings and Chiral Symmetry Breaking
Nick Evans, Jon Shock, Tom Waterson
We study the embedding of D7 brane probes in five geometries that are deformations of AdS_5 x S^5. Each case corresponds to the inclusion of quark fields in a dual gauge theory whe…
