[HTML][HTML] Holographic approach to compact stars and their binary mergers

C Hoyos, N Jokela, A Vuorinen - Progress in Particle and Nuclear Physics, 2022 - Elsevier
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 …

Trace anomaly as signature of conformality in neutron stars

Y Fujimoto, K Fukushima, LD McLerran… - Physical Review Letters, 2022 - APS
We discuss an interpretation that a peak in the sound velocity in neutron star matter, as
suggested by the observational data, signifies strongly coupled conformal matter. The …

Reaching percolation and conformal limits in neutron stars

M Marczenko, L McLerran, K Redlich, C Sasaki - Physical Review C, 2023 - APS
Generating an ensemble of equations of state that fulfill multimessenger constraints, we
statistically determine the properties of dense matter found inside neutron stars (NSs). We …

Holographic modeling of nuclear matter and neutron stars

M Järvinen - The European Physical Journal C, 2022 - Springer
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 …

Equation of state and speed of sound of isospin-asymmetric QCD on the lattice

BB Brandt, F Cuteri, G Endrődi - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2023 - Springer
A bstract We determine the QCD equation of state at nonzero temperature in the presence of
an isospin asymmetry between the light quark chemical potentials on the lattice. Our …

Building a realistic neutron star from holography

N Kovensky, A Poole, A Schmitt - Physical Review D, 2022 - APS
We employ the recently improved description of dense baryonic matter within the Witten-
Sakai-Sugimoto model to construct neutron stars. In contrast to previous holographic …

Remarks on nuclear matter: How an condensate can spike the speed of sound, and a model of baryons

RD Pisarski - Physical Review D, 2021 - APS
I make two comments about nuclear matter. First, I consider the effects of a coupling
between the O (4) chiral field, ϕ→, and the ω μ meson,∼+ ϕ→ 2 ω μ 2; for any net baryon …

Examining the possibility that normal nuclear matter is quarkyonic

V Koch, L McLerran, GA Miller, V Vovchenko - Physical Review C, 2024 - APS
The possibility that nuclear matter might be quarkyonic is considered. Quarkyonic matter is
high baryon density matter that is confined but can be approximately thought of as a filled …

Quarkyonic stars with isospin-flavor asymmetry

J Margueron, H Hansen, P Proust, G Chanfray - Physical Review C, 2021 - APS
We suggest an extension to isospin asymmetric matter of the quarkyonic model from
McLerran and Reddy [Phys. Rev. Lett. 122, 122701 (2019) PRLTAO 0031-9007 …

Holographic approach to transport in dense QCD matter

C Hoyos, N Jokela, M Järvinen, JG Subils, J Tarrio… - Physical Review D, 2022 - APS
The transport properties of dense QCD matter play a crucial role in the physics of neutron
stars and their mergers but are notoriously difficult to study with traditional quantum field …
