We review theoretical approaches to explore the phase diagram of nuclear and quark matter
at high baryon density. We first look over the basic properties of quantum chromodynamics …

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 …

Heavy ion collision experiments recreating the quark-gluon plasma that filled the nascent
universe have established that it is a nearly perfect liquid that flows with such minimal …

We consider a relativistic plasma containing charged chiral fermions in an external magnetic
field, eg a chirally symmetric quark-gluon plasma created in relativistic heavy ion collisions …

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 …

The asymptotically-logarithmically-AdS black-hole solutions of 5D dilaton gravity with a
monotonic dilaton potential are analyzed in detail. Such theories are holographically very …

A bstract Using the holographic correspondence as a tool, we determine the steady-state
velocity of expanding vacuum bubbles nucleated within chiral finite temperature first-order …

We use holographic techniques to study SU (N c) super Yang-Mills theory coupled to N f<<
N c flavours of fundamental matter at finite temperature and baryon density. We focus on four …

We study the chiral phase transition in a magnetic field at finite temperature and chemical
potential within the Sakai-Sugimoto model, a holographic top-down approach to (large-N c) …

We study the constraints on thermal phase transitions of SU (N c) gauge theories by using
the't Hooft anomaly involving the center symmetry and chiral symmetry. We consider two …
