Properties of Stable Massive Quark Stars in Holography

Kazem Bitaghsir Fadafan, Jesús Cruz Rojas, Jonas Mager

We study a holographic D3/D7 system, whose dilaton profile has been phenomenologically adjusted in the infrared. The model is used to describe a deconfined yet massive quark phase…

Holographic light dilaton at the conformal edge

Jesús Cruz Rojas, Deog Ki Hong, Sang Hui Im +1

We study a simple holographic model for gauge theories near the conformal edge to show that the dilaton can be parametrically lighter than any other composite states. The masses of…

Popcorn transitions and approach to conformality in homogeneous holographic nuclear matter

Jesús Cruz Rojas, Tuna Demircik, Matti Järvinen

We study cold and dense nuclear matter by using the gauge/gravity duality. To this end we use the Witten-Sakai-Sugimoto model and the V-QCD models with an approach where the nuclea…

Holographic Colour Superconductors at Finite Coupling with NJL Interactions

Kazem Bitaghsir Fadafan, Jesús Cruz Rojas

We study a bottom-up holographic description of the QCD colour superconducting phase in the presence of higher derivative corrections. We expand this holographic model in the conte…

Domain Wall Fermions on the Brane

Jesus Cruz Rojas, Nick Evans, Jack Mitchell

We study domain wall fermions and their condensation in the D3/probe D7 system. A spatially dependent mass term for the N=2 hypermultiplet can be arranged to isolate distinct two c…

Holographic quark matter with colour superconductivity and a stiff equation of state for compact stars

Kazem Bitaghsir Fadafan, Jesus Cruz Rojas, Nick Evans

We present a holographic model of QCD with a first order chiral restoration phase transition with chemical potential, mu. The first order behaviour follows from allowing a disconti…
