Holographic drag force with translational symmetry breaking by Sara Tahery, Kazem Bitaghsir Fadafan, Sahar Mojarrad Lamanjouei

“…Abstract In order to investigate how the drag force is affected by translational symmetry breaking (TSB), we utilize a holographic model in which the background metric remains translational symmetric while a graviton mass or other fields in the theory break this symmetry. We calculate analytically the drag force, considering an asymptotic $$\hbox {AdS}_5$$ AdS 5 in which parameter $$\alpha $$ α arises from TSB. …”
