  • Article: Thermal Mass and Plasmino for Strongly Interacting Fermions
    [show abstract] [hide abstract]
    ABSTRACT: We investigate fermion self energy problem in the strongly coupled dense medium in holographic approach. By working out bottom up models as well as top down ones we showed that vanishing thermal mass and non-existence of temperature generated plasmino mode is the universal feature of the strongly interacting fermion system. We identified that the dual of the bulk Rashiba effect, which was recently found by the Herzog et.al, is the presence of the plasmino mode generated by the density.

  • Article: Self-energy of Strongly Interacting Fermions in Medium: a Holographic Approach
    [show abstract] [hide abstract]
    ABSTRACT: We consider the self-energy of strongly interacting fermions in the medium using gauge/gravity duality of $D4/D8$ system. We study the mass generation of the thermal and/or dense medium and the collective excitation called plasmino, by considering the spectral function of fermion and its dispersion relation. Our results are very different from those of the hard thermal loop method: for zero density, there is no thermal mass or plasmino in any phase. Plasmino in deconfined phase is not allowed in $D4/D8$ set up. In the confined phase, there is plasmino modes only for a window of density.

  • Article: Holographic RG Flow and Sound Modes of sQGP
    [show abstract] [hide abstract]
    ABSTRACT: We consider the hydrodynamics of strongly interacting quark gluon plasma in finite temperature and density using the holographic duality of charged black hole in anti DeSitter space. We calculate the transport coefficients at arbitrary energy scale by considering the holographic screen at finite radial position. We first calculate the flow of sound velocity in this method and check the consistence with previous result. Then we calculate diffusion constant of charge and find that Einstein relation between susceptibility, conductivity and diffusion constant will hold at arbitrary slice.

    Article: Mixed RG Flows and Hydrodynamics at Finite Holographic Screen
    [show abstract] [hide abstract]
    ABSTRACT: We consider quark-gluon plasma with chemical potential and study renormalization group flows of transport coefficients in the framework of gauge/gravity duality. We first study them using the flow equations and compare the results with hydrodynamic results by calculating the Green functions on the arbitrary slice. Two results match exactly. Transport coefficients at arbitrary scale is ontained by calculating hydrodynamics Green functions. When either momentum or charge vanishes, transport coefficients decouple from each other.

    Article: Holographic Wilsonian RG Flow and Sliding Membrane Paradigm
    Sang-Jin Sin, Yang Zhou
    [show abstract] [hide abstract]
    ABSTRACT: We study the relations between two different approaches to the holographic Renormalization Group (RG) flow at the dual gravity level: One is the radial evolution of the classical equation of motion and the other is the flow equation given by the holographic Wilsonian RG coming from the cut off independence. Apparently, the two flows look different. We give general proofs that the two flows are actually equivalent. The role of the momentum continuity (MC) is essential. We show that MC together with cutoff independence gives the evolution equation of the boundary values. Equivalence of conductivity flows in two paradigm has been shown as an explicit example. We also get the connecting formula of Green functions and AC conductivity at arbitrary slice in terms of its value at horizon for various geometry backgrounds.

    Article: Holographic Superconductor for a Lifshitz fixed point
    [show abstract] [hide abstract]
    ABSTRACT: We consider the gravity dual of strongly coupled system at a Lifshitz-fixed point and finite temperature, which was constructed in a recent work arXiv:0909.0263. We construct an Abelian Higgs model in that background and calculate condensation and conductivity using holographic techniques. We find that condensation happens and DC conductivity blows up when temperature turns below a critical value.

    Article: Comments on Baryon Melting in Quark Gluon Plasma with Gluon Condensation
    Sang-Jin Sin, Shuo Yang, Yang Zhou
    [show abstract] [hide abstract]
    ABSTRACT: We consider a black hole solution with a non-trivial dilaton from IIB super gravity which is expected to describe a strongly coupled hot gauge plasma with non-vanishing gluon condensation present. We construct a rotating and moving baryon to probe the screening and phases of the plasma. Melting of the baryons in hot plasma in this background had been studied previously, however, we show that baryons melt much lower temperature than has been suggested previously. Comment: 3 figures, 12 pages

    Article: Holographic melting of Heavy Baryons in Plasma with Gluon Condensation
    Sang-Jin Sin, Yang Zhou
    [show abstract] [hide abstract]
    ABSTRACT: We propose a Dirac-Born-Infeld (DBI) D5 vertex brane plus N_c fundamental strings configuration to describe a baryon probe in strongly coupled gauge theory with gluon condensation at finite temperature via AdS/CFT correspondence. We investigate properties of this configuration in a dilaton deformed AdS_5\times S^5 background, in which IIB string theroy is dual to super Yang-Mills thery in a state with a constant self-dual gauge field (F_{mn}=F^*_{mn}) background. We find that for most values of temperature T and gluon condensation parameter q (q = \pi^2<F_{mn}F_{mn}>), there always exists a screening length L_s. The relation L_s\sim{1\ov T} has been checked. We give the q dependence of L_s. We calculate the boost velocity v(v=-\tanh\eta) and angular velocity \omega dependence of L_s for a baryon probe, and obtain L_s=L_0*(1-v^2)^{1/4} for large v and L_s\sim\omega^{-1}, which are consistent with those dependence relations in the point brane plus strings case, and find that the usual relations have been modified by q. We also calculate the mass of baryon and find T dependence of baryon mass. Comment: 16 pages, 7 figures, published version on JHEP

    Article: A Holographic model for Non-Relativistic Superconductor
    Shi Pu, Sang-Jin Sin, Yang Zhou
    [show abstract] [hide abstract]
    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 relativistic case, below which a charged condensation field appears by a second order phase transition and the (DC) conductivity becomes infinite. We also calculated the frequency dependent conductivity. Comment: 12 pages, 5 figures, non-relativistic parameter dependence of critical temperature was added

    Article: High spin baryon in hot strongly coupled plasma
    Miao Li, Yang Zhou, Shi Pu
    [show abstract] [hide abstract]
    ABSTRACT: We consider a strings-junction holographic model of probe baryon in the finite-temperature supersymmetric Yang-Mills dual of the AdS-Schwarzschild black hole background. In particular, we investigate the screening length for high spin baryon composed of rotating N_c heavy quarks. To rotate quarks by finite force, we put hard infrared cutoff in the bulk and give quarks finite mass. We find that N_c microscopic strings are embedded reasonably in the bulk geometry when they have finite angular velocity \omega, similar to the meson case. By defining the screening length as the critical separation of quarks, we compute the \omega dependence of the baryon screening length numerically and obtain a reasonable result which shows that baryons with high spin dissociate more easily. Finally, we discuss the relation between J and E^2 for baryons. Comment: 18 pages, 19 figures, version to appear in JHEP
