Abstract

We analyze the dynamics of intersecting D3/D3' brane system overlapping in 1+1 dimensions, in a holographic treatment where NN D3-branes are manifested as anti-de-Sitter Schwartzschild geometry, and the D3'-brane is treated as a probe. We extract the thermodynamic equation of state from the set of embedding solutions, and analyze the stability at the perturbative and the non-perturbative level. We review a systematic procedure to resolve local instabilities and multi-valuedness in the equations of state based on classic ideas of convexity in microcanonical ensumble. We then identify a run-away behavior which was not noticed previously for this system.
