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…
Gravitational Duals from Equations of State II: Large Hierarchies and False Vacua
Raul Jimenez, David Mateos, Pavlos Protopapas +3
We investigate the reconstruction of holographic duals for strongly coupled quantum field theories in regimes characterized by large hierarchies and the presence of false vacua. Wi…
Microscopic Description of Critical Bubbles
Carlos Hoyos, David Mateos, Wilke van der Schee +1
First-order phase transitions occur through the nucleation of critical bubbles of the stable phase within the metastable phase. Using holography, we present a fully microscopic des…
Self-sustained, out-of-equilibrium inflation
Jorge Casalderrey-Solana, Lucía Castells-Tiestos, Jéssica Gonçalves +1
We use holography to study dS-invariant states of non-conformal, strongly coupled quantum field theories in four-dimensional de Sitter space. We show that out-of-equilibrium effect…
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…
Cosmic censorship in a (dual) collider
Marc Aragonès Fontboté, David Mateos, Guillem Pérez Martín +2
We investigate cosmic censorship in anti-de Sitter space in holographic models in which the ground state is described by a good singularity. These include supersymmetric truncation…
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…
Gravitational Duals from Equations of State
Yago Bea, Raul Jimenez, David Mateos +4
Holography relates gravitational theories in five dimensions to four-dimensional quantum field theories in flat space. Under this map, the equation of state of the field theory is…
Quantum Matter near a Cosmological Singularity
Jorge Casalderrey-Solana, David Mateos, Alexandre Serantes
General Relativity predicts that the spacetime near a cosmological singularity undergoes an infinite number of chaotic oscillations between different Kasner epochs with rapid trans…
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…

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…
Holographic Evolution with Dynamical Boundary Gravity
Christian Ecker, Wilke van der Schee, David Mateos +1
Holography has provided valuable insights into the time evolution of strongly coupled gauge theories in a fixed spacetime. However, this framework is insufficient if this spacetime…
Multiple Mass Hierarchies from Complex Fixed Point Collisions
Anton F. Faedo, Carlos Hoyos, David Mateos +1
A pair of complex-conjugate fixed points that lie close to the real axis generates a large mass hierarchy in the real renormalization group flow that passes in between them. We sho…
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…

We use holography to study the dynamics of a strongly-coupled gauge theory in four-dimensional de Sitter space with Hubble rate . The gauge theory is non-conformal with a charac…
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…
Phase transitions in a three-dimensional analogue of Klebanov-Strassler
Daniel Elander, Anton F. Faedo, David Mateos +1
We use top-down holography to study the thermodynamics of a one-parameter family of three-dimensional, strongly coupled Yang-Mills-Chern-Simons theories with M-theory duals. For ge…
Holographic Complex Conformal Field Theories
Anton F. Faedo, Carlos Hoyos, David Mateos +1
The loss of criticality in the form of weak first-order transitions or the end of the conformal window in gauge theories can be described as the merging of two fixed points that mo…
