In this review, we provide an up-to-date account of quantitative bottom-up holographic
descriptions of the strongly coupled quark–gluon plasma (QGP) produced in relativistic …

We highlight the progress, current status, and open challenges of QCD-driven physics, in
theory and in experiment. We discuss how the strong interaction is intimately connected to a …

Gauge/gravity duality creates new links between quantum theory and gravity. It has led to
new concepts in mathematics and physics, and provides new tools to solve problems in …

I review holographic models for (dense and cold) nuclear matter, neutron stars, and their
mergers. I start by a brief general discussion on current knowledge of cold QCD matter and …

Strongly interacting matter undergoes a crossover phase transition at high temperatures T∼
10 12 K and zero net-baryon density. A fundamental question in the theory of strong …

A bstract We construct a class of bottom-up holographic models with physics comparable to
the one expected from QCD in the Veneziano limit of large N f and N c with fixed\(x=\frac …

Transport properties of a thermal medium determine how its conserved charge densities (for
instance the electric charge, energy or momentum) evolve as a function of time and …

We numerically construct a family of five-dimensional black holes exhibiting a line of first-
order phase transitions terminating at a critical point at finite chemical potential and …

We present a holographic perspective on momentum transport in strongly coupled,
anisotropic non-Abelian plasmas in the presence of strong magnetic fields. We compute the …

In this review article, we describe the role of holography in deciphering the physics of dense
QCD matter, relevant for the description of compact stars and their binary mergers. We …
