Adding Flavor to AdS4/CFT3 (2009)

Ammon, Martin, Erdmenger, Johanna, Meyer, Rene, O'Bannon, Andy, Wrase, Timm

Aharony, Bergman, Jafferis, and Maldacena have proposed that the low-energy description of multiple M2-branes at a C4/Zk singularity is a (2+1)-dimensional N=6 supersymmetric U(Nc) x U(Nc)...

Holographic Flavor Transport in Arbitrary Constant Background Fields (2009)

Ammon, Martin, Ngo, Thanh Hai, O'Bannon, Andy

We use gauge-gravity duality to compute a new transport coefficient associated with a number Nf of massive N=2 supersymmetric hypermultiplet fields propagating through an N=4 SU(Nc) super-Yang-Mills...

We use the AdS/CFT correspondence to perform a numerical study of a phase transition in strongly-coupled large-Nc N = 4 Super-Yang-Mills theory on a 3-sphere coupled to a finite number Nf of massive...

Holographic Renormalization of Probe D-Branes in AdS/CFT (2005)

Karch, Andreas, O'Bannon, Andy, Skenderis, Kostas

We perform holographic renormalization for probe branes in AdS_5 x S^5. We show that for four known probe D-branes wrapping an AdS_m x S^n, the counterterms needed to render the action finite are...
