We develop a new description of curved manifolds that represent a topological phase for the usual Levi-Civita connection and a dynamical phase for the torsion, being the only part of the connection that generates curvature. The holonomy group structure of such manifolds is studied, and different expressions of the torsion in terms of gauge fields are considered with the purpose to describe different dynamical scenarios. Additionally some models of torsion interacting with fermions are constructed; specifically a four-dimensional model that mimics an usual fermion-gauge fields system is considered; this model undergoes parity symmetry breaking with a dynamical background. Since these manifolds represent new gravitational backgrounds, we speculate on possible applications in the study of qualitative and quantitative aspects of the gauge/gravity duality.

Gravitational theories including negative cosmological constant, dilaton and gauge fields are explored in higher dimensions, in which black hole solutions are shown to exist and their asymptotic behaviors are obtained. Based on these solutions, effective Randall–Sundrum brane worlds are constructed. In the framework of gauge/gravity duality, effects from cosmological constant on the spectra of standard model fields on the branes are perturbatively calculated.

It is shown that if the contribution of flat connections on the dimension of the moduli spaces of Yang–Mills instantons and anti-instantons is appropriately taken into the account, then the inadmissible cases of negative dimensions may be reduced to zero-dimensional moduli spaces, corresponding to a collection of points, and whose counting will correspond to the Donaldson invariant of the base manifold. These results will lead to a possible description of that invariant in terms of flat connections with diverse applications, for example for testing the conjecture on its equivalence to the Seiberg–Witten invariant, and for the study of the qualitative and quantitative aspects of the gauge/gravity duality.

Abstract A definition of a convolution of tensor fields on group manifolds is given, which is then generalised to generic homogeneous spaces. This is applied to the product of gauge fields in the context of ‘gravity = gauge × gauge’. In particular, it is shown that the linear Becchi-Rouet-Stora-Tyutin (BRST) gauge transformations of two Yang-Mills gauge fields generate the linear BRST diffeomorphism transformations of the graviton. This facilitates the definition of the ‘gauge × gauge’ convolution product on, for example, the static Einstein universe, and more generally for ultrastatic spacetimes with compact spatial slices.

We perform a direct test of the gauge/gravity duality by studying one-dimensional U (N) gauge theory with 16 supercharges at finite temperature using Monte Carlo simulation. In the 't Hooft large-N limit and in the strong coupling limit, the model is expected to have a dual gravity description in terms of the near-extremal black 0-brane solution in ten-dimensional type IIA supergravity. Our results provide the first example, in which the microscopic origin of the black hole thermodynamics is accounted for by solving explicitly the strongly coupled dynamics of the open strings attached to the D-branes.

A nonextensive statistical mechanics entropy that depends only on the probability distribution is proposed in the framework of superstatistics. It is based on a Γ(χ2) distribution that depends on β and also on pl. The corresponding modified von Neumann entropy is constructed; it is shown that it can also be obtained from a generalized Replica trick. We further demonstrate a generalized H-theorem. Considering the entropy as a function of the temperature and volume, it is possible to generalize the equation of state of an ideal gas. Moreover, following the entropic force formulation a generalized Newton's law is obtained, and following the proposal that the Einstein equations can be deduced from the Clausius law, we discuss on the structure that a generalized Einstein's theory would have. Lastly, we address the question whether the generalized entanglement entropy can play a role in the gauge/gravity duality. We pay attention to 2d CFT and their gravity duals. The correction terms to the von Neumann entropy result more relevant than the usual UV ones and also than those due to the area dependent AdS3 entropy which result comparable to the UV ones. Then the correction terms due to the new entropy would modify the Ryu–Takayanagi identification between the CFT entanglement entropy and the AdS entropy in a different manner than the UV ones or than the corrections to the AdS3 area dependent entropy.
