Non-conformal obstructions to bubble expansion
David Mateos, Mikel Sanchez-Garitaonandia, Pedro Tarancón-Álvarez
We investigate the hydrodynamics of expanding bubbles in first-order phase transitions with non-conformal thermodynamics. We analyze a broad class of equations of state interpolati…
Near-extremal holographic charge correlators
Blaise Goutéraux, David M. Ramirez, Mikel Sanchez-Garitaonandia +1
We analytically compute the low-temperature charge correlators in near-extremal black holes with a planar horizon and an infrared extremal geometry…
Bubble dynamics in a QCD-like phase diagram
Yago Bea, Mauro Giliberti, David Mateos +3
A line of first-order phase transitions is conjectured in the phase diagram of Quantum Chromodynamics at non-zero baryon density. If this is the case, numerical simulations of neut…
String Theory in a Pinch: Resolving the Gregory-Laflamme Singularity
Roberto Emparan, Mikel Sanchez-Garitaonandia, Marija Tomašević
Thin enough black strings are unstable to growing ripples along their length, eventually pinching and forming a naked singularity on the horizon. We investigate how string theory c…
Spinodal slowing down and scaling in a holographic model
Alessio Caddeo, Oscar Henriksson, Carlos Hoyos +1
The dynamics of first-order phase transitions in strongly coupled systems are relevant in a variety of systems, from heavy ion collisions to the early universe. Holographic theorie…
Hydrodynamics of Relativistic Superheated Bubbles
Yago Bea, Jorge Casalderrey-Solana, David Mateos +1
Relativistic, charged, superheated bubbles may play an important role in neutron star mergers if first-order phase transitions are present in the phase diagram of Quantum Chromodyn…
Prediction of the bubble wall velocity for a large jump in degrees of freedom
Mikel Sanchez-Garitaonandia, Jorinde van de Vis
The bubble expansion velocity is an important parameter in the prediction of gravitational waves from first order phase transitions. This parameter is difficult to compute, especia…
Holographic collisions in large effective theory
Raimon Luna, Mikel Sanchez-Garitaonandia
We study collisions of Gaussian mass-density blobs in a holographic plasma, using a large effective theory, as a model for holographic shockwave collisions. The simplicity of t…
Megahertz Gravitational Waves from Neutron Star Mergers
Diego Blas, Jorge Casalderrey-Solana, David Mateos +1
Neutron star mergers provide a unique laboratory for the study of strong-field gravity coupled to quantum chromodynamics in extreme conditions. The frequencies and amplitudes of th…
Holographic Bubbles with Jecco: Expanding, Collapsing and Critical
Yago Bea, Jorge Casalderrey-Solana, Thanasis Giannakopoulos +4
Cosmological phase transitions can proceed via the nucleation of bubbles that subsequently expand and collide. The resulting gravitational wave spectrum depends crucially on the pr…
Spinodal Gravitational Waves
Yago Bea, Jorge Casalderrey-Solana, Thanasis Giannakopoulos +5
We uncover a new gravitational-wave production mechanism in cosmological, first-order, thermal phase transitions. These are usually assumed to proceed via the nucleation of bubbles…
Domain Collisions
Yago Bea, Jorge Casalderrey-Solana, Thanasis Giannakopoulos +3
We use holography to study collisions of phase domains formed in a four-dimensional, strongly-coupled gauge theory with a first-order, thermal phase transition. We find three quali…
Bubble Wall Velocity from Holography
Yago Bea, Jorge Casalderrey-Solana, Thanasis Giannakopoulos +3
Cosmological phase transitions proceed via the nucleation of bubbles that subsequently expand and collide. The resulting gravitational wave spectrum depends crucially on the bubble…
Crossing a large- phase transition at finite volume
Yago Bea, Oscar J. C. Dias, Thanasis Giannakopoulos +4
The existence of phase-separated states is an essential feature of infinite-volume systems with a thermal, first-order phase transition. At energies between those at which the phas…
