We construct electrically charged AdS 5 black hole solutions whose charge, mass and boost-
parameters vary slowly with the space-time coordinates. From the perspective of the dual …

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 …

Modern hydrodynamic simulations of core-collapse supernovae and neutron-star mergers
require knowledge not only of the equilibrium properties of strongly interacting matter, but …

We consider thermal strongly-coupled N= 2 SYM theory with fundamental matter at finite
isospin chemical potential. Using gauge/gravity duality, ie a probe of two flavor D7-branes …

We show that the squared speed of sound vs 2 is bounded from above at high temperatures
by the conformal value of 1/3 in a class of strongly coupled four-dimensional field theories …

A bstract We investigate a simple holographic model for cold and dense deconfined QCD
matter consisting of three quark flavors. Varying the single free parameter of the model and …

We give a detailed account and extensions of a holographic flavor superconductivity model
which we have proposed recently. The model has an explicit field theory realization as …

We use a top-down holographic model for strongly interacting quark matter to study the
properties of neutron stars. When the corresponding equation of state (EOS) is matched with …

We study the phase diagram of two-flavor dense QCD at finite isospin and baryon chemical
potentials in the framework of the Nambu–Jona-Lasinio model. We focus on the case with …

We show that a D3/D7 system (in the limit of zero quark mass) at finite isospin chemical
potential goes through a superconductor (superfluid) like phase transition. This is similar to a …
