Holographic phase transitions with fundamental matter.
The holographic dual of a finite-temperature gauge theory with a small number of flavors typically contains D-brane probes in a black hole background. At low temperature, the branes sit outside the black hole and the meson spectrum is discrete and possesses a mass gap. As the temperature increases, the branes approach a critical solution. Eventually, they fall into the horizon and a phase trans...
متن کاملSpacetime Approach to Phase Transitions
In these notes, the application of Feynman’s sum-over-paths approach to thermal phase transitions is discussed. The paradigm of such a spacetime approach to critical phenomena is provided by the high-temperature expansion of spin models. This expansion, known as the hopping expansion in the context of lattice field theory, yields a geometric description of the phase transition in these models, ...
متن کاملQuantum information approach to quantum phase transitions
Quantum phase transitions of a many-body system at zero temperature are characterized by the change of the ground state properties as model parameter g in the system Hamiltonian H(g) is varied across the transition point. People think that structures of the ground-state wavefunction become qualitatively different across the transition point. That is, if we calculate the fidelity, a concept emer...
متن کاملEffective Field Theory Approach to Phase Transitions
In this paper I discuss the effective field theory approach, recently developed by Braaten and Nieto in the investigation of quantum field theories at high temperature. I demonstrate that this method can be easily extended to the study of phase transitions in theories with spontaneous symmetry breaking. The first step consists of the construction of a sequence of two effective three-dimensional...
متن کاملOn holographic phase transitions at finite chemical potential
Recent Holographic studies have shown that N=4 super Yang-Mills theory coupled to fundamental matter with finite chemical potential undergoes a first order phase transition. In this paper, we study Nf D6 probe branes with or without electric field on it in the black D4 brane background compactified on a circle with supersymmetry breaking boundary condition. At energy scales much lower than the ...
