Hyperscaling-Violation on Probe D-Branes

High Energy Physics - Theory 2015-06-05 v2

Abstract

For the field theories dual to D3/D7- and D3/D5-brane systems we find non-relativistic finite density fixed points exhibiting a violation of hyperscaling. This violation is measured by the critical exponent θ=1\theta=1 while the dynamical critical exponent is z=2z=2. At zero temperature we compute the thermodynamic potentials, the speed of normal sound, and the speed of zero sound for both these massive D3/D(2n+1)-brane systems near their non-relativistic fixed points. Moreover, we determine the first correction to the free energy for small temperatures yielding the critical exponents α\alpha and ν\nu.
