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

I discuss the impact of gauge-gravity duality on our understanding of two classes of systems:
conformal quantum matter and compressible quantum matter. The first conformal class …

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 …

Using the AdS/CFT correspondence, we probe the scale dependence of thermalization in
strongly coupled field theories following a sudden injection of energy via calculations of two …

General scaling arguments, and the behavior of the thermal entropy density, are shown to
lead to an infrared metric holographically representing a compressible state with hidden …

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 …

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 …

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 …

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 …
