Hagedorn temperature from holography: rotating and charged systems

Francesco Bigazzi, Tommaso Canneti, Federico Castellani +1

Using the string/field theory correspondence as a tool, we study the dependence of the Hagedorn temperature of strongly coupled, planar gauge theories on angular velocities and che…

Bubble wall velocity and nucleation rates in inverse holographic phase transitions

Francesco Bigazzi, Aldo L. Cotrone, Natalia Pinzani-Fokeeva +1

We study the dynamics of first-order inverse phase transitions (driven by superheating) at strong coupling, focusing on the top-down Witten-Sakai-Sugimoto model for holographic QCD…

Holographic Baryons as Quantum Hall Droplets

Francesco Bigazzi, Aldo Lorenzo Cotrone, Andrea Olzi +1

We provide a first-principle construction of baryons as quantum Hall droplets in single-flavor holographic QCD. The baryons are described as charged D6-branes with a circular bound…

Cosmic Topological Defects from Holography

Francesco Bigazzi, Aldo L. Cotrone, Andrea Olzi

This work investigates cosmic topological defects in gauge theories, focusing on models with an gauge group coupled with a single flavor, explored through a holographic fra…

Holographic Hagedorn Temperature: Strong Coupling, Flavor and -angle Effects

Francesco Bigazzi, Tommaso Canneti, Aldo L. Cotrone +1

We study the Hagedorn temperature of strongly coupled quantum field theories admitting a holographic string or M-theory description in various regimes and scenarios. In the f…

Hagedorn temperature in holography: world-sheet and effective approaches

Francesco Bigazzi, Tommaso Canneti, Federico Castellani +2

We provide general results on the Hagedorn temperature of planar, strongly coupled confining gauge theories holographically dual to type II superstring models on curved backgrounds…
