Abstract

We investigate the bounce solution in the holographic QCD and electroweak models with first-order phase transition. The strength parameter α\alpha, inverse duration time β/H\beta/H, and bubble wall velocity vwv_w in the gravitational wave power spectra are calculated by holographic bounce solution. In contrast to the results of field theory, we find the parameter α\alpha is about O(1)\mathcal{O}(1) and β/H\beta/H is about 10410^4, which imply that the phase transition is fast and strong. The critical, nucleation and percolation temperatures of the phase transition are close to each other in the holographic model. In addition, the velocity vwv_w is found to be less than the sound speed of the plasma cs=1/3c_{s}=1/\sqrt{3}, which corresponds to the deflagration scenario. For QCD phase transition, the gravitational wave power spectrum can reach 1013101410^{-13}-10^{-14} around the peak frequency of 0.01 Hz, which can be detected by BBO and Ultimate-DECIGO. For electroweak phase transition, the gravitational wave power spectrum can reach 1012101610^{-12}-10^{-16} around the peak frequency 1101-10 Hz. Moreover, the primordial black hole is not favorable for formation due to the large parameter β/H\beta/H and small velocity vwv_w.
