Baryon Chemical Potential in AdS/CFT Shin Nakamura 中村 真 Hanyang Univ. and CQUeST (韓国・漢陽大学) Ref. S.N.-Seo-Sin-Yogendran, hep-th/0611021 ( Kobayashi-Mateos-Matsuura-Myers, hep-th/0611099)
Purpose of this talk • I would like to present an overview of AdS/CFT. (Incomplete, but “intuitive” hopefully.) • I will report the present status on construction of finite-density AdS/CFT. (What we know and what we do not know.)
Motivation Hadron physics is very interesting research area both theoretically and experimentally. • RHIC, LHC • Nuetron (quark) stars We encounter strongly coupled systems. We need theoretical frameworks which enable us to analyze strongly coupled QCD. • Effective theories, Lattice QCD,… • AdS/CFT
= conjecture AdS/CFT (Original, weak version) Classical Supergravity on 10 dim. Maldacena ‘97 4dim. Large-Nc SU(Nc) N=4 Super Yang-Mills at the large ‘t Hooft coupling Strongly interactingquantum YM !!
What is AdS/CFT? Analogy: Euclidean theory A: Ф=0 “trivial” vacuum B: Ф=ФB“non-trivial” vacuum m2 -m2 A 2 solutions: B
Physics around the “non-trivial” vacuum 2 equivalent methods: • Perturbation theory around the • “non-trivial” vacuum. dynamical = 2. Perturbation theory around the “trivial” vacuum (with source). source term dynamical
+ + +….. Propagator around the non-trivial vacuum method 1: (around non-trivial) method 2: (around trivial) consistency = (Comment after the seminar: we have to understand more about this.)
What we have learned Same physics can be described in two different ways: 1. non-trivial vacuum, without source Single Feynmann diagram = 2. trivial vacuum, withsource • Re-summation of infinitely many diagrams • The source carries non-perturbative information
Let us do the same thing in string theory Type IIB Superstring Theory Defined in 10d spacetime Theory of closed strings (perturbatively) Low energy: 10d type IIB supergravity Many different vacua. Two of them: 1. A curved spacetime: black 3-brane solution “non-trivial” Asymptotically flat Extremal black hole “trivial” 2. Flat spacetime “Source for closed strings”: D3-brane 3+1 dim. hypersurface, gauge theory on it
Superstring theory around black 3-brane geometry asymptotically flat Black hole (3+1 dim. object) = ? The near horizon limit : We do not want here. U(Nc) 3+1 dim N=4 Super YM theory at low energy on the D3-branes Superstring theory around flat geometry + source (Nc D3-brane) SU(Nc)

Construction of gauge/gravity duality • Construct a D-brane configuration on which the gague theory you want is realized. • Find the supergravity solution which corresponds to the D-brane configuration. (Here, we have a curved spacetie, but no D-brane.) • Take near-horizon limit to make the unwanted modes (like gravity in the YM side) decoupled. • Take appropriate limits to make the supergravity approximation valid, if necessary.

How to introduce finite density(or chemical potential)? • Kim-Sin-Zahed, 2006/8 • Horigome-Tanii, 2006/8 • S.N.-Seo-Sin-Yogendran, 2006/11 • Kobayashi-Mateos-Matsuura-Myers-Thomson, 2006/11
The system we consider: D3-D7 system • YM theory: N=2 large-Nc SYM with quarks • Flavor branes: Nf D7-branes • Flavor symmetry: U(Nf) • Quarks are massive (in general): mq • Probe approximation (Nc>>Nf) • Free energy~Flavor-brane action No back reaction to the bulk gometry from the flavor branes. (~quenched approx.)
AdS/CFT at finite R-charge chemical potential SO(6) on the S5 R-symmetry: 10 dim. angular momentum on the S5 R-charge: From the AdS5 point of view electric charge of the BH Electric potentialA0at the boundary is interpreted as a chemical potential Chamblin-Emparan-Johnson-Myers,1999 Cvetic-Gubser,1999
First law in charged black hole Entropy from the area of the horizon Mass Charge Hawking temperature Electromagnetic potential plays as a chemical potential
We need flavor branes(D8,D7,….) • U(1)B symmetry: Local (gauge) symmetry on the flavor branes U(1)B charge: “electric charge” for the U(1) gauge field on the flavor brane How about finite baryon-number density? D4-D8-D8 case A0 on the flavor brane at the boudary ? U(1)B chemical potential? Kim-Sin-Zahed,2006/8; Horigome-Tanii,2006/8
E How about gauge invariance? S.N.-Seo-Sin-Yogendran,2006/11 Kobayashi-Mateos-Matsuura- Myers-Thomson,2006/11 We should use boundary D7 ρ AdS-BH ρ A “physical” ? meaning: a work necessary to bring a single quark charge from the boundary to ρmin against the electric field.
More standard AdS/CFT language (Nc D3-Nf D7 case) U(1) part of the U(Nf) gauge symmetry: Aμ Aμ couples the U(1)B current (density): the boundary value of A0 corresponds to the source for the U(1)B number density op. μ
=Ω A function of A0’: grand potential in the grand canonical ensemble. Gauss-law constraint: quark number density “electric charge” density Thermodynamics as classical electromagnetism DBI action of the flavor D7-branes with Fρ0: ρ-derivative
Legendre transformation “Hamiltonian” is interpreted as the Helmholtz free energy in the canonical ensemble.
A problem Kobayashi-Mateos-Matsuura-Myers (KMMM) claims: “the Minkowski branch is unphysical.” Our (S.N.-Seo-Sin-Yogendran) treatment: with the Minkowski branch. (Analysis: canonical ensemble in both papers)
KMMM’s claim charged source Gauss-law constraint: Black-hole branch Minkowski branch D7 E E F1 AdS-BH 1st order horizon D7 falls into the BH and no Minkowski branch. 1st order in canonical ensemble
However, (S.N.-Seo-Sin-Yogendran, to appear) However, if we use only the black-hole branch, we have another serious problem. In the grand canonical ensemble, KMMM has only high-temperature region. (Full temperature region cannot be covered within their framework.)

Conclusion • Basic ideas of AdS/CFT have been reviewed in this talk. • Attempts to introduce U(1)B-chemical potential have been started last year. • The KMMMT’s claim looks reasonable, but we found that their proposal produces another serious problem. • AdS/CFT with U(1)B-chemical potential is still under construction.
