DESCRIPTION:The Mandelstam and National Institutes for Theoretical Physics will host this seminar by Dr Daniel Elander (Wits).At this seminar, Dr Daniel Elander (Wits), will discuss solutions in Type IIB supergravity, whose field theory duals exhibit walking dynamics, in the sense that a suitably defined gauge coupling stays nearly constant over an intermediate range of energies. These supergravity backgrounds are deformations of the well-known Maldacena-Nunez and Klebanov-Strassler solutions. Computing the spectrum of scalar glueballs, Elander finds that these theories contain a parametrically light state, the mass of which is suppressed by the length of the walking region.
