Unqenched Holographic Magnetic Catalysis
Speaker:Veselin Filev (MPI Munich)
Abstract:We propose a string dual to the SU(N_c) N=4 SYM coupled to massless fundamental flavors in an external magnetic field. The flavors are introduced by partially smeared Nf D7 branes and the external magnetic field via non-trivial Kalb-Rammond B-field. We introduce an additional probe D-brane which couples to the background B-field and study the influence of the backreacted flavors on the effect of mass generation. At sufficiently strong magnetic fields the meson spectrum signals an instability of the probe which we interpret as reflecting an instability of the background. We report also on a very recent progress with backreacted massive flavor branes.
