Gauge Theory Duals of Black Hole - Black String Transitions of Gravitational Theories on a Circle
نویسندگان
چکیده
We study the black hole black string phase transitions of gravitational theories compactified on a circle using the holographic duality conjecture. The gauge theory duals of these theories are maximally supersymmetric and strongly coupled 1 + 1 dimensional SU(N) Yang-Mills theories compactified on a circle, in the large N limit. We perform the strongly coupled finite temperature gauge theory calculations on a lattice, using the recently developed exact lattice supersymmetry methods based on topological twisting and orbifolding. The spatial Polyakov line serves as relevant order parameter of the confinement deconfinement phase transitions in the gauge theory duals.

Dynamics of First Order Transitions with Gravity Duals
A first order phase transition usually proceeds by nucleating bubbles of the new phase which then rapidly expand. In confining gauge theories with a gravity dual, the deconfined phase is often described by a black hole. If one starts in this phase and lowers the temperature, the usual description of how the phase transition proceeds violates the area theorem. We study the dynamics of this phase...
متن کاملMatrix Theory Black Holes and the Gross Witten Transition
Large N gauge theories have so called Gross-Witten phase transitions which typically can occur in finite volume systems. In this paper we relate these transitions in supersymmetric gauge theories to transitions that take place between black hole solutions in general relativity. The correspondence between gauge theory and gravitation is through matrix theory which represents the gravitational sy...
متن کاملQcd and String Theory
This talk begins with some history and basic facts about string theory and its connections with strong interactions. Comparisons of stacks of Dirichlet branes with curved backgrounds produced by them are used to motivate the AdS/CFT correspondence between superconformal gauge theory and string theory on a product of Anti-de Sitter space and a compact manifold. The ensuing duality between semi-c...
متن کاملNew Phases of Near-Extremal Branes on a Circle
We study the phases of near-extremal branes on a circle, by which we mean near-extremal branes of string theory and M-theory with a circle in their transverse space. We find a map that takes any static and neutral Kaluza-Klein black hole, i.e. any static and neutral black hole on Minkowski-space times a circle Md×S1, and map it to a corresponding solution for a near-extremal brane on a circle. ...
متن کاملTIFR Annual Report 2005-06 THEORETICAL PHYSICS String Theory and Mathematical Physics
Highlights Work was continued on exact counting of black hole states and comparison with the quantum corrected macroscopic entropy. A method was developed to exactly bosonize a system of finite number of non-relativistic fermions in one dimension, with applications to many problems in field theory, string theory and condensed matter physics including the classic Tomonaga problem of bosonization...
