TL;DR

This paper investigates non-equilibrium phase transitions in gauge theories using AdS/CFT correspondence, revealing how magnetic field and temperature influence the transition type, independent of supersymmetry or matter subspace.

Contribution

It demonstrates the dependence of phase transition types on magnetic field and temperature in non-equilibrium conditions via numerical analysis within AdS/CFT.

Findings

Transition sign reversal in differential conductivity indicates phase change.

Transition type varies with magnetic field and temperature.

Transition is independent of supersymmetry and matter subspace.

Abstract

Using AdS/CFT correspondence we study non-equilibrium phase transition in the presence of a constant external magnetic field. The transition occurs when the sign of differential conductivity reverses. Utilizing numerical method we show that the type of transition depends on the value of magnetic field as well as the temperature of gauge theory. Moreover we show that this transition does not depend on the supersymmetry and the subspace on which the fundamental matter fields live.
