Phase transitions in symmetric orbifold CFTs and universality
نویسنده
چکیده
Since many thermodynamic properties of black holes are universal, the thermodynamics of their holographic duals should be universal too. We show how this universality is exhibited in the example of symmetric orbifolds of general two dimensional CFTs. We discuss the free energies and phase diagrams of such theories and show that they are indeed universal in the large N limit. We also comment on the implications of our results for the classification of CFTs that can have an interpretation as holographic duals to gravity theories on AdS3. E-mail: [email protected] 1

Universality of non-equilibrium dynamics of CFTs from holography
Motivated by a low-energy effective description of gauge theory/string theory duality, we conjecture that the dynamics of SO(4)-invariant states in a large class of four-dimensional conformal gauge theories on S with non-equal central charges c 6= a are universal on time scales tuniversal ∝ c (E − Evacuum) , in the limit where the energy E → Evacuum. We show that lowenergy excitations in c 6= a...
متن کاملLinear Sigma Models for Open Strings
We formulate and study a class of massive N = 2 supersymmetric gauge field theories coupled to boundary degrees of freedom on the strip. For some values of the parameters, the infrared limits of these theories can be interpreted as open string sigma models describing D-branes in large-radius Calabi-Yau compactifications. For other values of the parameters, these theories flow to CFTs describing...
متن کاملGCMC Glauber dynamics study for structural transitions in YBCOx (0<x<1), HTc system
We have chosen an Ising ASYNNNI (ASYmmetric Next Nearest Neighbor Interaction) model under a grand canonical regime to investigate structural phase transition from a high symmetric tetragonal (Tet) to a low symmetric orthorhombic in YBa2Cu3O6+x , 0<x<1, HTc system. Ordering process for absorbed oxygens from an external gas bath into the basal plane of the layered system is studied by Monte C...
متن کاملThree - point functions for M N / S N orbifolds with N = 4 supersymmetry
The D1-D5 system is believed to have an ‘orbifold point’ in its moduli space where its low energy theory is a N = 4 supersymmetric sigma model with target space MN/SN , where M is T 4 or K3. We study correlation functions of chiral operators in CFTs arising from such a theory. We construct a basic class of chiral operators from twist fields of the symmetric group and the generators of the super...
متن کاملPhases of N = ∞ QCD - like gauge theories on S 3 × S 1 and nonperturbative orbifold - orientifold equivalences
We study the phase diagrams of N = ∞ vector-like, asymptotically free gauge theories as a function of volume, on S3 × S1. The theories of interest are the ones with fermions in two index representations [adjoint, (anti)symmetric, and bifundamental abbreviated as QCD(adj), QCD(AS/S) and QCD(BF)], and are interrelated via orbifold or orientifold projections. The phase diagrams reveal interesting ...
