In the present paper we study SU(N)->S(U(N/2)xU(N/2)) symmetry breaking in N=4 SYM via AdS/CFT correspondence. We consider two stacks of N/2 parallel D3 branes separated by a distance 2\vec d. In this case there is mixing between the…
We calculate energy correlators in a holographic model incorporating elements of asymptotic freedom and confinement. We model a running coupling by considering a geometry with a warp factor that deviates logarithmically from anti-de Sitter…
A recent proposal relates two dimensional holographic conformal field theories deformed by the integrable $T\bar{T}$ flow to AdS$_3$ with a finite radial cutoff. We investigate this proposal by studying perturbative correlation functions on…
