Higher derivative holography and temperature dependence of QGP viscosities
Thomas Apostolidis, Umut Gürsoy, Edwan Préau
Recent Bayesian analyses of heavy ion collision data have established a non-trivial temperature dependence of the shear and bulk viscosity per entropy. Motivated by this, we consid…
Revisiting color superconductors in bottom-up holography
Edwan Préau
We revisit the problem of constructing a color superconducting phase in bottom-up holography. We introduce a model that describes the five-dimensional dynamics of a scalar field du…
Phases and Phase transitions of U(1)SU(2) symmetric holographic matter
Matti Järvinen, Elias Kiritsis, Francesco Nitti +1
The phase diagram and symmetry breaking patterns of a holographic CFT with U(1)SU(2) symmetry are analyzed using the simplest holographic action, namely Einstein-Yang-Mills…
Holographic QFTs on SS, spontaneous symmetry breaking and Efimov saddle points
Elias Kiritsis, Francesco Nitti, Edwan Préau
Holographic CFTs and holographic RG flows on space-time manifolds which are -dimensional products of spheres are investigated. On the gravity side, this corresponds to Einstein-…
