Bubble nucleation in finite-density gauge theory using the AdS/CFT correspondence
We will be using the N = 4 Super Yang-Mills theory as a "toy model" of QCD to model the spontaneously broken symmetry (Higgsing) SU (Nc) → SU (Nc − n) × U (n). We model the the instability of the phase with unbroken color symmetry (”normal phase”) and the mechanism with which we would have the …

Aspects of fluid dynamics and the fluid/gravity correspondence
This thesis considers various extensions to the fluid/gravity correspondence as well as problems fundamental to the study of fluid dynamics. The fluid/gravity correspondence is a map between the solutions of the Navier-Stokes equations of fluid dynamics and the solutions of the Einstein equations …

Non-perturbative approaches to strongly correlated electron systems
… metal-insulator transitions. Having a proper understanding of strongly correlated electron systems requires a non-perturbative analysis because Fermi liquid theory inevitably breaks down due to the strong correlation. In this thesis, we will study two non-perturbative approaches to tackle …

Topics in gauge/gravity duality
"Over the past 14 years, the Anti-de Sitter (AdS)/Conformal Field Theory (CFT) correspondence and its generalization in the ideas of gauge/gravity duality have had a profound impact in our understanding of strongly interacting quantum field theories. Roughly speaking, the correspondence maps the …
