We use holography to study Conformal Phase Transitions, which are believed to be realized in four dimensional QCD and play an important role in walking technicolor models of electroweak symmetry breaking. At strong coupling they can be…
We study phase transitions in five-dimensional Einstein Gravity with a negative cosmological constant, coupled to a Skyrme matter field. These transitions are topological generalizations of the Hawking-Page transition between thermal Anti…
We find stationary thin-brane geometries that are dual to far-from-equilibrium steady states of two-dimensional holographic interfaces. The flow of heat at the boundary agrees with the result of CFT and the known energy-transport…
In this thesis, I study Interface Conformal Field Theories (ICFT) and their holographic dual, which is composed of two asymptotically Anti-de-Sitter (AdS) spaces glued through a thin gravitating membrane. I restrict the study to simple…
From the viewpoint of holography, the phase structure of a 5-dimensional Reissner-Nordstr\"{o}m-AdS black hole is probed by the two point correlation function, Wilson loop, and entanglement entropy. As the case of thermal entropy, we find…

Varying the curvature, quantum phase transitions are investigated in holographic confining QFTs defined on a fixed constant positive curvature background. We find a competition between two branches of solutions and a phase transition as one…
Conformal field theories can exchange energy through a boundary interface. Imposing conformal boundary conditions for static interfaces implies energy conservation at the interface. Recently, the reflective and transmitive properties of…
We study the breaking of an Abelian symmetry close to the horizon of a black string as well as close to the tip of a solitonic, cigar-shaped solution in (3+1)-dimensional Anti-de Sitter space-time. We use these solutions to describe…
Holographic screens are the generalization of the event horizon of a black hole in entropic force scheme, which are defined by setting Newton potential $\phi$ constant, \textit{i. e.} $e^{2\phi}=c=$const. By demonstrating that the…

A Hawking-Page phase transition between AdS thermal and AdS Black Hole was presented as a mechanism for explaining the QCD deconfinement phase transition within holographic models. In order to implement temperature dependence in the…
We describe cosmological solutions of the holographic dilaton with the aim of exploring alternatives to the commonly studied thermal Randall-Sundrum phase transition. It is well known that the thermal transition is typically strongly first…
We consider three-dimensional statistical systems at phase coexistence in the half-volume with boundary conditions leading to the presence of an interface. Working slightly below the critical temperature, where universal properties emerge,…
