• Mass Deformed Lorentzian-Bagger-Lambert-Gustavsson Theory from Aharony-Bergman-Jafferis Theory

  December 01, 2012 | Dr. Tanay Kumar Dey | Kamal L. Panigrahi

  We construct mass deformed SU(N) LBLG theory together with U(M-N)k Chern-Simons theory. This theory is a low energy world volume theory of a stack of N number of M2-branes far away from C4/Zk singularity. We carry out this by defining a special scaling limit of the fields of this theory and simultaneously sending the Chern-Simons level to infinity.

• AdS Black Holes with Higher Derivative Corrections in Presence of String Cloud

  November 02, 2020 | Dr. Tanay Kumar Dey | Subir Mukhopadhyay

  Published in: Eur. Phys. J. C. We consider asymptotically AdS black hole solutions in Einstein Gauss-Bonnet gravity in the presence of string clouds.

• Phase Transition of AdS Schwarzschild Black Hole and Gauge Theory Dual in Presence of External String Cloud

  October 21, 2018 | Dr. Tanay Kumar Dey

  Published in: IJMPA. We study the thermodynamics of AdS Schwarzschild black hole in the presence of an external string cloud.

• Back Reaction Effects on the Dynamics of Heavy Probes in Heavy Quark Cloud

  May 16, 2016 | Dr. Tanay Kumar Dey | Shankhadeep Chakrabortty

  Published in: JHEP. We holographically study the effect of back reaction on the hydrodynamical properties of N = 4 strongly coupled super Yang-Mills (SYM) thermal plasma.

• Mass Deformed Lorentzian Bagger Lambert-Gustavsson Theory from Aharony-Bergman-Jafferis

  December 01, 2012 | Dr. Tanay Kumar Dey | Kamal Lochan Panigrahi

  Published in: PRD. We construct mass deformed SU(N) Lorentzian-Bagger-Lambert-Gustavsson theory together with U(M-N)k Chern-Simons theory.
