We describe a numerical method for simulating stochastic fluid dynamics near a critical point in the Ising universality class. This theory is known as model H, and is expected to govern the non-equilibrium dynamics of Quantum Chromodynamics…

Recently, a number of intriguing results have been obtained for strongly coupled ${\cal N}=4$ Supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory in vacuum and matter, using the AdS/CFT correspondence. In this work, we provide a physical picture supporting…

The spectrum of the bosonic sector of the D=11 supermembrane with central charges is shown to be discrete and with finite multiplicities, hence containing a mass gap. The result extends to the exact theory our previous proof of the similar…

Gauge theory-string theory duality describes strongly coupled N=4 supersymmetric SU(n) Yang-Mills theory at finite temperature in terms of near extremal black 3-brane geometry in type IIB string theory. We use this correspondence to compute…

We show that the interplay of geometric criticality and quantum fluctuations leads to a novel universality class for the percolation quantum phase transition in diluted magnets. All critical exponents involving dynamical correlations are…

We investigate the critical behavior of pion superfluidity in the frame of functional renormalization group. By solving the flow equation in the SU(2) linear sigma model with pion superfluidity at finite temperature and isospin density, and…

In recent years the statistical mechanics of non-spherical molecules, such as polypeptide chains and protein molecules, has garnered considerable attention as their phase behavior has important scientific and health implications. One…

We investigate the transition between weak and strong coupling in thermal ${\cal N}=4$ supersymmetric Yang-Mills (SYM) theory as a function of 't Hooft coupling $\lambda$ for several quantities of phenomenological interest for which…

We construct an analytic solution of the Einstein-SU(2)-Yang-Mills system as the holographic dual of an anisotropic superfluid near its critical point, up to leading corrections in both the inverse Yang-Mills coupling and a symmetry…

We study the gravitational duals of $d$-dimensional Yang-Mills theories with $d\leq 6$ in the presence of an ${\cal O} (N^2)$ density of heavy quarks, with $N$ the number of colors. For concreteness we focus on maximally supersymmetric…

We present a non-perturbative study of the equation of state in the deconfined phase of Yang-Mills theories in D=2+1 dimensions. We introduce a holographic model, based on the improved holographic QCD model, from which we derive a…

Employing supervised machine learning techniques, we investigate the deconfinement phase transition within $4$-dimensional $SU(2)$ Yang-Mills (YM) theory, compactified on a small circle and endowed with center-stabilizing potential. This…

In this work we consider a heavy quark moving with constant proper acceleration in the vacuum of any four dimensional conformal field theory. We argue that the two-point function of its momentum fluctuations is exactly captured by the…

We consider 3+1-dimensional gauge theories at finite temperature and a finite density of charges which couple to a 2+1-dimensional Chern-Simons operator, giving rise to a theta-term with constant spatial gradient of theta. The…

We compute the momentum broadening of a heavy fundamental charge propagating through a $\mathcal{N}=4$ Yang Mills plasma at large t' Hooft coupling. We do this by expressing the medium modification of the probe's density matrix in terms of…

Validity of modified finite-size scaling above the upper critical dimension is demonstrated for the quantum phase transition whose dynamical critical exponent is $z=2$. We consider the $N$-component Bose-Hubbard model, which is exactly…

The mean-field optical phase transition in multimode equal-coupling photonic networks is studied by temporal evolution of the nonlinear equations of motion of the coupled modes. Analogies to statistical mechanics models of interacting…

We study a phase transition in a non-equilibrium model first introduced in [5], using the Yang-Lee description of equilibrium phase transitions in terms of both canonical and grand canonical partition function zeros. The model consists of…

We study the generalized gluon distribution that governs the dynamics of quarkonium inside a non-Abelian thermal plasma characterizing its dissociation and recombination rates. This gluon distribution can be written in terms of a…

We consider the phase transition in the dual Yang-Mills theory at finite temperature $T$. The phase transition is associated with a change (breaking) of symmetry. The effective mass of the dual gauge field is derived as a function of…
