Advances in the holographic description of hot and dense QCD matter
Nicolas Kovensky, Andreas Schmitt
We review and extend recent progress on QCD-like phases at nonzero temperature and chemical potentials within the gauge-gravity duality. We focus on the Witten-Sakai-Sugimoto model…

Softening holographic nuclear matter
Christian Ecker, Nicolas Kovensky, Orestis Papadopoulos +1
Baryons in the holographic Witten-Sakai-Sugimoto model are described by instanton solutions on the flavor branes. A commonly used approximation for dense baryonic matter replaces t…

Thermal pion condensation: holography meets lattice QCD
Nicolas Kovensky, Andreas Schmitt
The holographic Witten-Sakai-Sugimoto model is often employed to describe strongly-coupled baryonic and isospin-asymmetric matter, for example in the context of neutron stars. Here…
