We review recent progress in studying mesons within gauge/gravity duality, in the context of
adding flavour degrees of freedom to generalizations of the AdS/CFT correspondence. Our …

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 …

Wormholes are intriguing classical solutions in General Relativity, that have fascinated
theoretical physicists for decades. In recent years, especially in Holography, gravitational …

We present a type-IIB supergravity solution dual to a spatially anisotropic finite-temperature
N= 4 super-Yang-Mills plasma. The solution is static and completely regular. The full …

We extend our analysis of a IIB supergravity solution dual to a spatially anisotropic finite-
temperature\(\mathcal {N}= 4\) super Yang-Mills plasma. The solution is static, possesses an …

We investigate gauge/gravity duals with flavour for which pure-gauge Kalb-Ramond B fields
are turned on in the background, into which a D7 brane probe is embedded. First we …

In this article, we present explicit evidence that maximal chaos occurs for a generic, probe
quark-like defect degrees of freedom, in a strongly coupled large N c gauge theory. In …

We show how to model the transition between distinct quantum Hall plateaus in terms of D-
branes in string theory. A low energy theory of 2+ 1 dimensional fermions is obtained by …

A bstract We analyze vacuum instability of strongly coupled gauge theories in a constant
electric field using AdS/CFT correspondence. The model is the\(\mathcal {N}= 2\) 1-flavor …

Abstract For (3+ 1)-dimensional fermions, a net axial charge and externalmagneticfield can
lead to a current parallel to the magnetic field. This is the chiral magnetic effect. We use …
