Deconfined, Massive Quark Phase at High Density and Compact Stars: A Holographic Study
arXiv:1911.12705 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevD.101.126005
Abstract
In Hoyos et al. (arXiv:1603.02943) a holographic D3/D7 system was used to describe a deconfined yet massive quark phase of QCD at finite density, concluding that the equation of state of such a phase was not stiff enough to support exotic dense stars. That analysis used a hard quark mass to represent the dynamical mass and assumed a conformal gauge background. Here we phenomenologically adjust the D3/D7 system to include a running anomalous dimension for the quark condensate. This introduces a dynamical mechanism for chiral symmetry breaking yet the model still has a deconfined massive phase at intermediate densities. We show that these systems, dependent on the running profile in the deep IR, generate much stiffer equations of state and non-monotonic behaviour in the speed of sound. The results suggest that these equations of state may be closer to supporting hybrid stars with quark cores.
