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…
