On Classification of QCD defects via holography
Alexander Gorsky, Valentin Zakharov, Ariel Zhitnitsky
We discuss classification of defects of various codimensions within a holographic model of pure Yang-Mills theories or gauge theories with fundamental matter. We focus on their rol…
Confinement- Deconfinement Phase Transition in Hot and Dense QCD at Large N
Ariel R. Zhitnitsky
We conjecture that the confinement- deconfinement phase transition in QCD at large number of colors N and N_f\ll N at T\neq 0 and μ\neq 0 is triggered by the drastic change in θbeh…
Phase Transitions, theta Behavior and Instantons in QCD and its Holographic Model
Andrei Parnachev, Ariel Zhitnitsky
In the holographic model of QCD, theta dependence sharply changes at the point of confinement deconfinement phase transition. In large N QCD such a change in theta behavior can be…
Charge separation induced by P-odd bubbles in QCD matter
D. Kharzeev, A. Zhitnitsky
We examine the recent suggestion that P- and CP-odd effects in QCD matter can induce electric charge asymmetry with respect to reaction plane in relativistic heavy ion collisions.…
Vacuum Energy, EoS, and the Gluon Condensate at Finite Baryon Density in QCD
Ariel Zhitnitsky
The Equation of States (EoS) plays the crucial role in all studies of neutron star properties. Still, a microscopical understanding of EoS remains largely an unresolved problem. We…
-dependence of QCD at Finite Isospin Density
Max A. Metlitski, Ariel R. Zhitnitsky
We probe the -dependence of QCD at finite isospin chemical potential using the effective chiral Lagrangian approach. The phase diagram in the , plane is construct…
