Metal-insulator transition by holographic charge density waves.
We construct a gravity dual for charge density waves (CDWs) in which the translational symmetry along one spatial direction is spontaneously broken. Our linear perturbation calculation on the gravity side produces the frequency dependence of the optical conductivity, which exhibits the two familiar features of CDWs, namely, the pinned collective mode and gapped single-particle excitation. These two features indicate that our gravity dual also provides a new mechanism to implement the metal to insulator phase transition by CDWs, which is further confirmed by the fact that dc conductivity decreases with the decreased temperature below the critical temperature.

The St\"uckelberg Holographic Superconductors in Constant External Magnetic Field
We investigate the St\"{u}ckelberg holographic superconductor in present of the constant external magnetic field. We observe that a critical value of magnetic field exists as the cases in usual holographic superconductor. Furthermore, we find that the applied magnetic field strongly influence the phase transition of this model and have a jump in the condensate at the critical temperature even for $c_{4}=1$.

Holographic fermions in charged Gauss-Bonnet black hole
We study the properties of the Green’s functions of the fermions in charged Gauss-Bonnet black hole. What we want to do is to investigate how the presence of Gauss-Bonnet coupling constant α affects the dispersion relation, which is a characteristic of Fermi or non-Fermi liquid, as well as what properties such a system has, for instance, the Particle-hole (a)symmetry. One important result of this research is that we find for q = 1, the behavior of this system is different from that of the Landau Fermi liquid and so the system can be candidates for holographic dual of generalized non-Fermi liquids. More importantly, the behavior of this system increasingly similar to that of the Landau Fermi liquid when α is approaching its lower bound. Also we find that this system possesses the Particle-hole asymmetry when q ≠ 0, another important characteristic of this system. In addition, we also investigate briefly the cases of the charge dependence.

Dynamic gap from holographic fermions in charged dilaton black branes
A bstractWe report a dynamical formation of a (Mott) gap from holographic fermions. By coupling a fermion field with dipole action to the charged dilaton black branes with a Lifshitz like IR geometry and AdS4 boundary, we find that when the dipole interaction is large enough, spectral weight is transferred between bands, and beyond a critical dipole interaction, a gap emerges in the fermion density of states. The value of the gap becomes larger as the strength of the interaction keeps increasing.

Chaos from the ring string in a Gauss-Bonnet black hole in AdS5 space
By the Poincare sections, the dynamical behaviors of the ring string in the AdS-Gauss-Bonnet (AdS-GB) black hole are studied. A threshold value of the Gauss-Bonnet (GB) parameter $\lambda$ are found by the numerical method, below which the behavior of this dynamical system is no-chaotic and above which the behavior becomes gradually chaotic. The chaotic behavior becomes stronger with the increases of GB parameter. It is different from the case in the AdS-Schwarzschild black hole, which is weakly chaotic. Furthermore, we confirm our findings by the Fast Lyapunov indicators.

Anomaly freedom of the vector modes with holonomy corrections in perturbative Euclidean loop quantum gravity
We study the perturbation of the effective Hamiltonian constraint with holonomy correction from Euclidean loop quantum gravity. The Poisson bracket between the corrected Hamiltonian constraint and the diffeomorphism constraint is derived for vector modes. Some specific form of the holonomy correction function $f^{i}_{cd}$ is found, which satisfies that the constraint algebra is anomaly-free. This result confirms the possibility of non-trivial holonomy corrections from full theory while preserving anomaly-free constraint algebra in the perturbation framework. It also gives valuable hints on the possible form of holonomy corrections in effective loop quantum gravity.

Spin-3 topologically massive gravity
Abstract In this Letter, we study the spin-3 topologically massive gravity (TMG), paying special attention to its properties at the chiral point. We propose an action describing the higher spin fields coupled to TMG. We discuss the traceless spin-3 fluctuations around the AdS 3 vacuum and find that there is an extra local massive mode, besides the left-moving and right-moving boundary massless modes. At the chiral point, such extra mode becomes massless and degenerates with the left-moving mode. We show that at the chiral point the only degrees of freedom in the theory are the boundary right-moving graviton and spin-3 field. We conjecture that spin-3 chiral gravity with generalized Brown–Henneaux boundary condition is holographically dual to 2D chiral CFT with classical W 3 algebra and central charge c R = 3 l / G .

Covariant tensor formalism for partial wave analyses of $\psi$ decays into $\gamma\gamma V$
The double radiative decays $\psi\to\gamma\gamma V$ with $V\equiv \rho,\omega,\phi$ have a potential to provide information on the flavor content of any meson resonances (R) with positive charge parity ($C=+$) and mass above 1 GeV through $\psi\to\gamma R \to\gamma\gamma V$. To get the information, one needs both high statistic data and partial wave analysis (PWA). While high statistic data will be available soon at CLEO-c and BES-III, here we provide theoretical PWA formulae for these $\psi$ double radiative decay channels in the covariant tensor formalism.

Tree-level split helicity amplitudes in ambitwistor space
We study all tree-level split helicity gluon amplitudes by using the recently proposed Britto-Cachazo-Feng-Witten recursion relation and Hodges diagrams in ambitwistor space. We pick out the contributing diagrams and find that all of them can be divided into triangles in a suitable way. We give the explicit expressions for all of these amplitudes. As an example, we reproduce the six-gluon split next-to-maximally-helicity-violating amplitudes in momentum space.

Supersymmetric Wilson loops in N = 6 super-ChernSimons-matter theory
Abstract We study supersymmetric Wilson loop operators in ABJM theory from both sides of the AdS 4 / CFT 3 correspondence. We first construct some supersymmetric Wilson loops. The perturbative computations are performed in the field theory side at the first two orders. A fundamental string solution ending on a circular loop is also studied.

Generalized inverse-Cowling approximation for polar w-mode oscillations of neutron stars
Adopting the Lindblom-Detweiler formalism for polar oscillations of neutron stars, we study the w-mode oscillation and find that the Lagrangian change in pressure, measured by the physical quantity X, is negligibly small. Based on this observation, we develop the generalized inverse-Cowling approximation (GICA) with the approximation X = X' = 0, where X' is the derivative of X with respect to the circumferential radius for w-mode oscillations of neutron stars. Under the GICA, w-mode oscillations are described by a second-order differential system, which can yield accurate frequencies and damping rates of quasi-normal modes.
