Phases of Braneworlds, Spinning D3-branes and Strongly-Coupled Gauge Theories
Abstract
A spinning nonextremal D3-brane undergoes a phase transition to a naked singularity which, from the braneworld point of view, corresponds to the apparent graviton speed passing from subluminal to superluminal. We investigate this phase transition from the dual perspectives of braneworld scenarios and holography. We discuss the relevance of the thermodynamic stability domains of a spinning D3-brane to the physics of braneworld scenarios. We also describe various gravitational Lorentz violations which arise from static D3-branes.
