Inverted c-functions in thermal states

  title={Inverted c-functions in thermal states},
  author={Casey Cartwright and Matthias Kaminski},
We first compute the effect of a chiral anomaly, charge, and a magnetic field on the entanglement entropy in N = 4 Super-Yang-Mills theory at strong coupling via holography. Depending on the width of the entanglement strip the entanglement entropy probes energy scales from the ultraviolet to the infrared energy regime of this quantum field theory (QFT) prepared in a given state. From the entanglement entropy, we compute holographic c-functions and demonstrate an inverted c-theorem for them… Expand


Comments on holographic entanglement entropy and RG flows
A bstractUsing holographic entanglement entropy for strip geometry, we construct a candidate for a c-function in arbitrary dimensions. For holographic theories dual to Einstein gravity, thisExpand
Detecting topological quantum phase transitions via the c-function
We propose the c-function as a new and accurate probe to detect the location of topological quantum critical points. As a direct application, we consider a holographic model which exhibits aExpand
c -theorem for anisotropic RG flows from holographic entanglement entropy
We propose a candidate $c$-function in arbitrary dimensional quantum field theories with broken Lorentz and rotational symmetry. For holographic theories we derive the necessary and sufficientExpand
Holographic phase space: c-functions and black holes as renormalization group flows
We construct a $ \mathcal{N} $-function for Lovelock theories of gravity, which yields a holographic c-function in domain-wall backgrounds, and seemingly generalizes the concept for black holeExpand
Charged magnetic brane solutions in AdS5 and the fate of the third law of thermodynamics
We construct asymptotically AdS5 solutions to 5-dimensional Einstein-Maxwell theory with Chern-Simons term which are dual to 4-dimensional gauge theories, including $$\mathcal{N} = 4 $$ SYM theory,Expand
Aspects of Holographic Entanglement Entropy
This is an extended version of our short report [1], where a holographic interpretation of entanglement entropy in conformal field theories is proposed from AdS/CFT correspondence. In addition to aExpand
Phase diagram of 4D field theories with chiral anomaly from holography
A bstractWithin gauge/gravity duality, we study the class of four dimensional CFTs with chiral anomaly described by Einstein-Maxwell-Chern-Simons theory in five dimensions. In particular we determineExpand
Far-from-equilibrium dynamics of a strongly coupled non-Abelian plasma with non-zero charge density or external magnetic field
A bstractUsing holography, we study the evolution of a spatially homogeneous, far from equilibrium, strongly coupled N=4$$ \mathcal{N}=4 $$ supersymmetric Yang-Mills plasma with a non-zero chargeExpand
Holographic c-theorems in arbitrary dimensions
We re-examine holographic versions of the c-theorem and entanglement entropy in the context of higher curvature gravity and the AdS/CFT correspondence. We select the gravity theories by tuning theExpand
