Many condensed matter experiments measure the transport properties
of finite temperature many-body systems in the vicinity of a zero
temperature quantum phase transition. Although there are often no
well-defined particle-like excitations at such...
I will discuss the supergravity description of various
configurations of supersymmetric M-fivebranes wrapped on calibrated
cycles of special holonomy manifolds. For known examples of Anti-de
Sitter near-horizon limit solutions, I will construct a...
