AdS/CFT• Conjectured duality between field
theories and gravity theories
• Weak/strong duality: extract strong coupling effects from classical gravity
• Fields in gravity provide sources and vevs of the FT operators
• Provides geometric interpretation of field theory features or viceversa

Setup• Take Nc D3-branes,
this is SU(Nc) SYM
• Strings represent fields in the adjoint
• Add Nf D7-branes
• New strings give fields in the fundamental

Basic dictionary• Finite temperature = black hole
• RG flow = radial dependence
• Running coupling = non-trivial dilaton
• In SUSY case the beta function is exact
- there is a Landau pole, the sugra solution will also have this pathology (dilaton diverges)

Physical consequences• Flavor corrections to transport
coefficients
• Increased loss of energy of probes through the plasma- drag force- jet quenching
• Strange optical properties

Fluctuations• Charged system expected to be unstable
- Charged scalars in the field theory: BE cond.- Charged fermions (chiral density wave)- CS-like couplings trigger instabilities
• All bosonic worldvolume fields studied in probe approximation
• We can include supergravity couplings
• However we can NOT go to zero temperature and everything remains stable

Extremality• Problem: it is a perturbation on top of a
neutral black hole solution
- Inner horizon at radius- Increasing baryon density requires the whole resumation of the solution
• Physically: energy density of D7-branes always dominates in the IR
- This is true also in the ‘t Hooft limit and in particular the problem holds for probe calculations

Summary & conclusions• We studied SYM theory with fundamental
matter with symmetry U(1)Nf
• Reasonable analytic control to include phenomenological features
• Possibility to study plasma observables perturbatively in Nf/Nc
• IR physics obtained from simpler system
• A different approach to study extremality in the charged black hole must be taken

Extremality again• In the massive quarks limit a charged
solution at zero temperature found
• This solution (plus more) is found in a particular limit of our system!
• Apparent instability due to an instanton mode in the D7-branes
• D3-branes pulled out by strings? A color-superconducting phase?
