58. Black hole microstates and strongly coupled hydrodynamics

Mihailo Cubrovic (Institute of Physics Belgrade)

Talk

We construct a description of hydrodynamics and superfluidity for a class of strongly coupled conformal (quantum critical) systems within the framework of gauge/gravity duality (holographic duality). We first review the basic idea of holographic duality and the state-of-the-art results on holographic superfluids, which are dual to black holes with thermal horizons. We then extend these results...

33. Calibrating the medium effects of light clusters in heavy-ion collisions

Talk

Light nuclei are found in core-collapse supernova matter and in binary neutron star mergers. Their abundance can affect the dynamics and properties of supernovae [1-3] and binary neutron star mergers [4-8], both directly through their weak reactions with the surrounding medium, and indirectly through their competition with heavy nuclei [9], which can modify the proton fraction and the size of...

11. Bayesian inference of hybrid stars with large quark cores

Talk

Neutron stars (NSs) are interesting objects capable of reaching densities unattainable on Earth. The properties of matter under these conditions remain a mystery. Exotic matter, including quark matter, may be present in the NS core. In this work, we explore the possible compositions of NS cores, in particular, the possible existence of large quark cores. We use the relativistic mean-field...
