Holographic Bjorken flow of a hot and dense fluid in the vicinity of a critical point

Renato Critelli, Romulo Rougemont, Jorge Noronha

In this paper we use the gauge/gravity duality to perform the first systematic study of the onset of hydrodynamic behavior in a hot and dense far-from-equilibrium strongly coupled…

Non-hydrodynamic quasinormal modes and equilibration of a baryon dense holographic QGP with a critical point

Romulo Rougemont, Renato Critelli, Jorge Noronha

We compute the homogeneous limit of non-hydrodynamic quasinormal modes (QNM's) of a phenomenologically realistic Einstein-Maxwell-Dilaton (EMD) holographic model for the Quark-Gluo…

Critical point in the phase diagram of primordial quark-gluon matter from black hole physics

Renato Critelli, Jorge Noronha, Jacquelyn Noronha-Hostler +3

Strongly interacting matter undergoes a crossover phase transition at high temperatures K and zero net-baryon density. A fundamental question in the theory of stron…

Dynamical vs. equilibrium properties of the QCD phase transition: a holographic perspective

Romulo Rougemont, Renato Critelli, Jacquelyn Noronha-Hostler +2

We employ an Einstein-Maxwell-Dilaton (EMD) holographic model, which is known to be in good agreement with lattice results for the QCD equation of state with flavors and ph…
