Neutron stars and quark stars are ideal laboratories to study fundamental physics at supra
nuclear densities and strong gravitational fields. Astrophysical observables, however …

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 …

A comprehensive overview of holographic methods in quantum matter, written by pioneers
in the field. This book, written by pioneers in the field, offers a comprehensive overview of …

A bstract We discuss universal properties of conformal field theories with holographic duals.
A central feature of these theories is the existence of a low-lying sector of operators whose …

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 …

We initiate a holographic model building approach tostrange metallic'phenomenology. Our
model couples a neutral Lifshitz-invariant quantum critical theory, dual to a bulk gravitational …

A bstract We explore the implications of stable gravitational orbits around an AdS black hole
for the boundary conformal field theory. The orbits are long-lived states that eventually decay …

We consider the quantum gravity partition function that counts the dimension of the Hilbert
space of a spatial region with topology of a ball and fixed proper volume, and evaluate it in …

In these lecture notes we review some recent attempts in searching for non-Fermi liquids
and novel quantum phase transitions in holographic systems using gauge/gravity duality …

We refer to the ground state of a gravitating, charged ideal fluid of fermions held at a finite
chemical potential as an “electron star.” In a holographic setting, electron stars are candidate …
