In this review article, we describe the role of holography in deciphering the physics of dense
QCD matter, relevant for the description of compact stars and their binary mergers. We …

A comprehensive overview of holographic methods in quantum matter, written by pioneers
in the field. This book, written by pioneers in the field, offers a comprehensive overview of …

The past two decades have seen the emergence of remarkable interconnections among
previously remotely related disciplines, such as condensed matter, nuclear physics, gravity …

The coupling between scalar and vector fields has a long and interesting history. Axions are
one key possibility to solve the strong CP problem, and axionlike particles could be one …

In this work, we show how states with conserved numbers of dynamical defects (strings,
domain walls, etc.) can be understood as possessing generalized global symmetries even …

We construct a gravity dual for charge density waves (CDWs) in which the translational
symmetry along one spatial direction is spontaneously broken. Our linear perturbation …

Mott insulators form because of strong electron repulsions and are at the heart of strongly
correlated electron physics. Conventionally these are understood as classical 'traffic jams' of …

A bstract We consider the spontaneous breaking of translational symmetry and identify the
associated Goldstone mode—a longitudinal phonon—in a holographic model with Bianchi …

A bstract We construct the simplest gravitational dual model of a superconductor on Q-
lattices. We analyze the condition for the existence of a critical temperature at which the …

We show that strongly coupled holographic matter at finite charge density can exhibit charge
density wave phases which spontaneously break translation invariance while preserving …
