String Theory seminar - Aalok Mishra Seminar

We will discuss the delocalized Strominger-Yau-Zaslow mirror of the McGill type IIB dual of large-N thermal QCD involving N black D3-branes, M D5 (and anti-D5) branes wrapping a two-cycle and N_f D7 (and anti-D7) branes embedded via the Ouyang embedding in a non-Kaehler resolved warped deformed conifold (NKRWDC), and its M-theoretic uplift to black M3-branes. We will do so in a large-N limit referred to as the MQGP limit involving gs<~1. We will discuss torsion class chasing from type IIB to type IIA and a local G_2 structure of the M-theory uplift. Using the prescription of Son et al, we will discuss evaluation of a host of transport coefficients from appropriate correlation functions at leading and next-to-leading order in N in the MQGP limit.
