Chiral symmetry breaking and confinement: separating the scales
Nick Evans, Konstantinos S. Rigatos
We review arguments that chiral symmetry breaking is triggered when the quark bilinear condensate's dimension passes through one (). This is supported by gap equations and mor…
Gauge/gravity dual dynamics for the strongly coupled sector of composite Higgs models
Johanna Erdmenger, Nick Evans, Werner Porod +1
A holographic model of chiral symmetry breaking is used to study the dynamics plus the meson and baryon spectrum of the underlying strong dynamics in composite Higgs models. The mo…
Holographic quark matter with colour superconductivity and a stiff equation of state for compact stars
Kazem Bitaghsir Fadafan, Jesus Cruz Rojas, Nick Evans
We present a holographic model of QCD with a first order chiral restoration phase transition with chemical potential, mu. The first order behaviour follows from allowing a disconti…
Gauge/gravity dynamics for composite Higgs models and the top mass
Johanna Erdmenger, Nick Evans, Werner Porod +1
We provide gauge/gravity dual descriptions of the strong coupling sector of composite Higgs models using insights from non-conformal examples of the AdS/CFT correspondence. We calc…
Low mu and imaginary mu signals of a critical point in the phase diagram of an exactly soluble chiral symmetry breaking theory
Nick Evans, M. J. Russell
Holography has allowed the exact solution of a small number of large Nc gauge theories. Amongst these is an N=2 SYM theory of quarks interacting with N=4 gauge fields. The temperat…
