Symmetry energy of dense matter in holographic QCD

Abstract

We study the nuclear symmetry energy of dense matter using holographic QCD. To this end, we consider two flavor branes with equal quark masses in a D4/D6/D6 model. We find that at all densities the symmetry energy monotonically increases. At small densities, it exhibits a power law behavior with the density, $E_{\mathrm{sym}}\sim {\rho }^{1/2}$.
