Phase transitions in a non-perturbative regime can be studied by ab initio Lattice Field
Theory methods. The status and future research directions for LFT investigations of Quantum …

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 …

We review the theoretical developments and conceptual advances that stemmed from the
generalization of QCD to the limit of a large number of color charges, originally proposed by't …

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 present a novel framework for the equation of state of dense and hot quantum
chromodynamics (QCD), which focuses on the region of the phase diagram relevant for …

A bottom-up Einstein-Maxwell-dilaton holographic model is used to compute, for the first
time, the behavior of several transport coefficients of the hot and baryon-rich strongly …

The possibility that gauge theories with chiral symmetry breaking below the conformal
window exhibit an infrared fixed point is explored. With this assumption three aspects of pion …

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 …

Abstract Using full 3+ 1 dimensional general-relativistic hydrodynamic simulations of equal-
and unequal-mass neutron-star binaries with properties that are consistent with those …
