The quark-hadron transition that happens in ultra-relativistic heavy-ion collisions is expected to be influenced by the effects of rotation and magnetic field, both present due to the geometry of a generic non-head-on impact. We augment the…
Deconfined regions in relativistic heavy ion collisions are limited to small volumes surrounded by a confined exterior. Here the geometry of a double layered torus is discussed, which allows for different temperatures in its two layers.…

The holographic dual of a finite-temperature gauge theory with a small number of flavours typically contains D-brane probes in a black hole background. At low temperature the branes sit outside the black hole and the meson spectrum is…
