Interaction-driven localization in holography (2013)
Journal Article
Donos, A., & Hartnoll, S. A. (2013). Interaction-driven localization in holography. Nature Physics, 9(10), 649-655. https://doi.org/10.1038/nphys2701

Interaction-driven charge localization across a quantum phase transition involves a fundamental rearrangement of the low-energy degrees of freedom. This fact challenges weakly interacting quasiparticle descriptions of the physics. The canonical examp... Read More about Interaction-driven localization in holography.

On the thermodynamics of periodic AdS black branes (2013)
Journal Article
Donos, A., & Gauntlett, J. P. (2013). On the thermodynamics of periodic AdS black branes. Journal of High Energy Physics, 2013(10), Article 038. https://doi.org/10.1007/jhep10%282013%29038

We consider asymptotically AdS black brane solutions that are dual to CFTs with periodic dependence on the spatial directions, arising from either a spontaneous or an explicit breaking of translational symmetry. We derive a simple expression for the... Read More about On the thermodynamics of periodic AdS black branes.

Holographic charge density waves (2013)
Journal Article
Donos, A., & Gauntlett, J. P. (2013). Holographic charge density waves. Physical Review D, 87(12), https://doi.org/10.1103/physrevd.87.126008

We show that strongly coupled holographic matter at finite charge density can exhibit charge density wave phases which spontaneously break translation invariance while preserving time-reversal and parity invariance. We show that such phases are possi... Read More about Holographic charge density waves.

Striped phases from holography (2013)
Journal Article
Donos, A. (2013). Striped phases from holography. Journal of High Energy Physics, 2013(5), Article 59. https://doi.org/10.1007/jhep05%282013%29059

We discuss new types of second order phase transitions in holography by constructing striped black holes in D = 4 with AdS4 asymptotics. In the context of AdS/CFT, they provide the gravity duals to field theory phases in which translational symmetry... Read More about Striped phases from holography.

Competing orders in M-theory: superfluids, stripes and metamagnetism (2013)
Journal Article
Donos, A., Gauntlett, J. P., Sonner, J., & Withers, B. (2013). Competing orders in M-theory: superfluids, stripes and metamagnetism. Journal of High Energy Physics, 2013(3), Article 108. https://doi.org/10.1007/jhep03%282013%29108

We analyse the infinite class of d = 3 CFTs dual to skew-whiffed AdS 4 × SE 7 solutions of D = 11 supergravity at finite temperature and charge density and in the presence of a magnetic field. We construct black hole solutions corresponding to the un... Read More about Competing orders in M-theory: superfluids, stripes and metamagnetism.

Semi-local quantum criticality in string/M-theory (2013)
Journal Article
Donos, A., Gauntlett, J. P., & Pantelidou, C. (2013). Semi-local quantum criticality in string/M-theory. Journal of High Energy Physics, 2013(3), Article 103. https://doi.org/10.1007/jhep03%282013%29103

Semi-local quantum critical behaviour in D − 1 spacetime dimensions can be holographically described by metrics that are conformal to AdS 2 ×R D−2 , with the conformal factor characterised by a parameter η. We analyse such “η-geometries” in a top-dow... Read More about Semi-local quantum criticality in string/M-theory.
