1/N Effects in Non-Relativistic Gauge-Gravity Duality

چکیده
We argue that higher-curvature terms in the gravitational Lagrangian lead, via non-relativistic gauge-gravity duality, to finite renormalization of the dynamical exponent of the dual conformal field theory. Our argument includes a proof of the non-renormalization of the Schrödinger and Lifshitz metrics beyond rescalings of their parameters, directly generalizing the AdS case. We use this effect to construct string-theory duals of non-relativistic critical systems with non-integer dynamical exponents, then use these duals to predict the viscosity/entropy ratios of these systems. The predicted values weakly violate the KSS bound.

A Holographic model for Non-Relativistic Superconductor
Abstract: We build a holographic description of non-relativistic system for superconductivity in strongly interacting condensed matter via gauge/gravity duality. We focus on the phase transition and give an example to show that a simple gravitational theory can provide a non-relativistic holographical dual description of a superconductor. There is also a critical temperature like the relativist...
متن کاملA Gravity Dual of the Chiral Anomaly
We study effects associated with the chiral anomaly for a cascading SU(N+ M)×SU(N) gauge theory using gauge/gravity duality. In the gravity dual the anomaly is a classical feature of the supergravity solution, and the breaking of the U(1) R-symmetry down to Z2M proceeds via the Higgs mechanism.
متن کاملA pr 1 99 8 March , 1998 S - duality and Strong Coupling Behavior of Large N Gauge Theories with N = 4 Supersymmetry
We analyze the strong coupling behavior of the large N gauge theories in 4-dimensions with N = 4 supersymmetry by making use of S-duality. We show that at large values of the coupling constant λ = g YMN the j-th non-planar amplitude fj(λ) (j = 0, 1, 2 . . .) behaves as fj(λ) ≈ λ j . Implication of this behavior is discussed in connection with the supergravity theory on AdS5×S 5 suggested by the...
متن کاملWhat can gauge-gravity duality teach us about condensed matter physics?
I discuss the impact of gauge-gravity duality on our understanding of two classes of systems: conformal quantum matter and compressible quantum matter. The first conformal class includes systems, such as the boson Hubbard model in two spatial dimensions, which display quantum critical points described by conformal field theories. Questions associated with non-zero temperature dynamics and trans...
متن کاملTransmutation of N = 2 fractional D3 branes into twisted sector fluxes
We study the prototype of fractional D3 branes at non-isolated singularities in gauge/gravity duality at the nonperturbative level. We embed the quantum moduli space of N = 2 pure SYM, the gauge theory on fractional D3 branes at the A1 singularity, into that of the cascading quiver gauge theory on regular and fractional D3 branes at the same singularity, for which a gravity dual description exi...
