QCD at finite temperature and density from holography
Speaker:Andreas Schmitt (TU Wien)
Abstract:I will give an introduction to the Sakai-Sugimoto model, a holographic model which, in a certain limit, is dual to large-Nc QCD. The model accounts for confinement and chiral symmetry breaking in a geometric way, and it can thus be used for instance to discuss the phase diagram for finite temperature and quark chemical potential. I will discuss the various phases of the model, mostly focussing on applications with finite magnetic fields, such as meson supercurrents and the chiral magnetic effect.
