MotivationGauge/Gravity correspondence:
Gauge theory at finite temperature and density
Charged black branein AdS
Mainly studied Reissner-Nordström (RN) black branes
Problem: RN black branes have finite entropy density at T=0, in conflict with the 3rd law of thermodynamics (Nernst law)
Task: Look for black branes with vanishing entropy density at T=0 (Nernst branes)

Possible solutionsIn 5d, RN unstable at low temperature in presence of magnetic field and Chern-Simons term
[D’Hoker, Kraus]
In general dimensions, RN not the zero temperature ground state when coupled to
(i) charged scalars (holographic superconductors)[Gubser; Hartnoll, Herzog, Horowitz]
(ii) neutral scalars (dilatonic black holes)[Goldstein, Kachru, Prakash, Trivedi; Cadoni, D’Appollonio, Pani]

Strategy
Look for extremal Nernst branes (with AdS asymptotics) in N=2 supergravity with vector multiplets
(i) Contains neutral scalars
(ii) Straightforward embedding into string theory
(iii) Attractor mechanism
Attractor mechanism: Values of scalar fields at the horizon are fixed, independent of their asymptotic values
First found for N=2 supersymmetric, asymptotically flat black holes in 4D [Ferrara, Kallosh, Strominger]

Summary
Nernst brane in N=2 supergravity with AdS asymptotics?
Extremal RN black brane has finite entropy, in conflictwith the third law of thermodynamics (Nernst law)
Ground state might be a different extremal black brane with vanishing entropy Nernst brane
