Unquenched flavor in the gauge/gravity correspondence

C Nunez, A Paredes, AV Ramallo - Advances in High Energy …, 2010 - Wiley Online Library
Within the AdS/CFT correspondence, we review the studies of field theories with a large
number of adjoint and fundamental fields, in the Veneziano limit. We concentrate in set‐ups …

From conformal to confining field theories using holography

A Fatemiabhari, C Nunez - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2024 - Springer
A bstract We construct a new family of Type IIB backgrounds that are dual to five
dimensional conformal field theories compactified and deformed by VEVs of certain …

Confinement and D5-branes

C Nunez, M Oyarzo, R Stuardo - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2024 - Springer
A bstract In this work we present new solutions of type IIB supergravity based on wrapped

Non-Abelian T-duality and the AdS/CFT correspondence: new N= 1 backgrounds

G Itsios, C Nunez, K Sfetsos, DC Thompson - Nuclear Physics B, 2013 - Elsevier
We consider non-Abelian T-duality on N= 1 supergravity backgrounds possessing well

A bstract In this paper we find various new backgrounds in Type IIB, IIA and M-theory with an
AdS 3-factor. The solutions are smooth and preserve small amounts of SUSY. These new …

Confinement, phase transitions and non-locality in the entanglement entropy

U Kol, C Nunez, D Schofield, J Sonnenschein… - Journal of High Energy …, 2014 - Springer
A bstract In this paper we study the conjectural relation between confinement in a quantum
field theory and the presence of a phase transition in its corresponding entanglement …

D3-D7 quark-gluon plasmas at finite baryon density

F Bigazzi, AL Cotrone, J Mas, D Mayerson… - Journal of High Energy …, 2011 - Springer
We present the string dual to SU (N c)\(\mathcal {N}= 4\) SYM, coupled to N f massless
fundamental flavors, at finite temperature and baryon density. The solution is determined by …

On non-Abelian T-duality and new N= 1 backgrounds

G Itsios, C Nunez, K Sfetsos, DC Thompson - Physics Letters B, 2013 - Elsevier
We study the action of non-Abelian T-duality in the context of N= 1 geometries with well
understood field theory duals. In the conformal case this gives rise to a new solution that …
