The holographic QCD critical point is sensitive to quark flavors

Niko Jokela, Matti Järvinen, Toshali Mitra +1

We study the phase structure of dense QCD matter by applying the flavor-dependent holographic V-QCD model to two distinct physical environments: charge-neutral, beta-equilibrated m…

Gravitational form factors of the proton in the improved holographic QCD model

Antti Hippeläinen, Niko Jokela, Matti Järvinen

We compute the gluonic contribution to the gravitational form factors of the proton using the improved holographic QCD model, in which the proton is described in terms of bulk Dira…

Locating the QCD critical point with neutron-star observations

Christian Ecker, Niko Jokela, Matti Järvinen

We present a probabilistic model for the QCD critical endpoint (CEP) and the equation of state (EOS) at -equilibrium, constrained by neutron-star observations. Using a hybrid fr…

Towards holographic color superconductivity in QCD

Jesús Cruz Rojas, Tuna Demircik, Christian Ecker +1

We extend the holographic V-QCD model by introducing a charged scalar field sector to represent the condensation of paired quark matter in the deconfined phase. By incorporating th…

Predictions for neutron star mergers from the gauge/gravity duality

Matti Jarvinen

The gauge/gravity duality, combined with information from lattice QCD, nuclear theory, and perturbative QCD, can be used to constrain the equation of state of hot and dense QCD. I…

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…

A black hole effective theory for strongly interacting matter

Matti Jarvinen, Dorin Weissman

We establish a new tool for studying strongly coupled matter: an effective theory of black holes in gravity, which maps to a hydrodynamic description of field theories via the gaug…

Modulated instabilities and the AdS point in dense holographic matter

Jesús Cruz Rojas, Tuna Demircik, Matti Järvinen

We investigate fluctuations of hot and dense QCD plasma by using the gauge/gravity duality. To this end, we carry out a comprehensive classification and analysis of quasinormal mod…

Is holographic quark-gluon plasma homogeneous?

Tuna Demircik, Niko Jokela, Matti Jarvinen +1

We present evidence for a spatially modulated instability within the deconfined quark-gluon plasma phase of QCD. This evidence is based on robust predictions from generic holograph…

A Novel Method for Holographic Transport

Tuna Demircik, Domingo Gallegos, Umut Gürsoy +2

We introduce a novel and effective method to compute transport coefficients in strongly interacting plasma states in holographic QFTs. Our method is based on relating the IR limit…

Holographic pinning

Niko Jokela, Matti Jarvinen, Matthew Lippert

In a holographic probe-brane model exhibiting a spontaneously spatially modulated ground state, we introduce explicit sources of symmetry breaking in the form of ionic and antiferr…

Quantum and stringy corrections to the equation of state of holographic QCD matter and the nature of the chiral transition

T. Alho, M. Jarvinen, K. Kajantie +2

We consider the finite temperature phase diagram of holographic QCD in the Veneziano limit (Nc large, Nf large with xf=Nf/Nc fixed) and calculate one string-loop corrections to the…

Spin asymmetry at large x_F and k_T

M. Jarvinen

We suggest that the large single spin asymmetries observed at high momentum fractions x_F and transverse momenta k_T of the pion in p^\uparrow p -> π(x_F,k_T)+X arise from the cohe…
