We find a strong-to-weak coupling cross-over in D=2+1 SU(N) lattice gauge theories that appears to become a third-order phase transition at N=\infty, in a similar way to the Gross-Witten transition in the D=1+1 SU(N\to\infty) lattice gauge…

We investigate strong-to-weak coupling transitions in D=2+1 SU(N->oo) gauge theories, by simulating lattice theories with a Wilson plaquette action. We find that there is a strong-to-weak coupling cross-over in the lattice theory that…

We study R-charge transport in a wide class of strongly-coupled supersymmetric plasmas at finite temperature with 't Hooft coupling corrections. To achieve this, we use the gauge/string duality and include the full set of order(\alpha'^3)…
A method for extending traditional plasma transport theories into the strong coupling regime is presented. Like traditional theories, this is based on a binary scattering approximation, but where physics associated with many body…
The low-energy D=4, N=1 effective action of the strongly coupled heterotic string is explicitly computed by compactifying Horava-Witten theory on the deformed Calabi-Yau three-fold solution due to Witten. It is shown that, to order…
We consider the strongly coupled limit of conformal gauge theory plasmas with conserved U(1) charges which have a gravity dual. We show that, under mild restrictions, the second order transport coefficients of such theories satisfy a…

Charge transport is a revealing probe of the quantum properties of materials. Strong interactions can blur charge carriers resulting in a poorly understood "quantum soup". Here we study the conductivity of the Fermi-Hubbard model, a testing…
