The AdS/CFT correspondence has led to important insights into the properties of quantum chromodynamics even though QCD is a broken conformal theory. A holographic model based on a truncated AdS space can be used to obtain the hadronic…
Our curiosity-driven desire to "see" chemical bonds dates back at least one-hundred years, perhaps to antiquity. Sweeping improvements in the accuracy of measured and predicted electron charge densities, alongside our largely bondcentric…

We compute baryon and electric charge deposition in high-energy heavy-ion collisions using the Color Glass Condensate (CGC) Effective Field Theory, where at leading order charge is deposited through multiple scatterings of valence quarks…

In any generally covariant theory of gravity, we show the relationship between the linearized asymptotically conserved current and its non-linear completion through the identically conserved current. Our formulation for conserved charges is…
We have studied the variation of a thermodynamic quantity, the strange chemical potential, in the phase diagram of nuclear matter, by employing the partition function in each domain and enforcing strangeness conservation. We propose that…
Recently, a mechanism for the development of a fermi surface in a holographic model of large N QCD with a baryon chemical potential was proposed. We examine similar constructions to determine when this mechanism persists. We find a class of…
Correlations related to local charge conservation provide insight into the creation and evolution of up, down and strange charges in the quark-gluon plasma. Here, the evolution of charge correlations is overlaid onto a hydrodynamic…
We extend a bottom up holographic model, which has been used in studying the color superconductivity in QCD, to the imaginary chemical potential ($\mu_I$) region, and the phase diagram is studied on the $\mu_I$-temperature (T) plane. The…
The light-front quantization of QCD provides an alternative to lattice gauge theory for computing the mass spectrum, scattering amplitudes, and other physical properties of hadrons directly in Minkowski space. Nonperturbative light-front…
Constrained density functional theory (CDFT) is used to evaluate the energy level alignment of a benzene molecule as it approaches a graphene sheet. Within CDFT the problem is conveniently mapped onto evaluating total energy differences…
The correspondence between theories in anti-de Sitter space and field theories in physical space-time leads to an analytic, semiclassical model for strongly-coupled QCD which has scale invariance at short distances and color confinement at…
We consider a one-dimensional continuum gas of pointlike positive and negative unit charges interacting via a logarithmic potential. The mapping onto a two-dimensional boundary sine-Gordon field theory with zero bulk mass provides the full…
We study condensation in two-flavored, scalar QED with non-degenerate masses at finite chemical potential. The conventional formulation of the theory has a sign problem at finite density which can be solved using an exact reformulation of…

A well-defined notion of chemical compound space (CCS) is essential for gaining rigorous control of properties through variation of elemental composition and atomic configurations. Here, we review an atomistic first principles perspective…
Building on the pioneering work of \cite{Caputa:2024sux}, we propose a holographic description of spread complexity and its rate in 2D CFTs. By exploiting $SL(2,\mathbb{R})$ symmetry, we explicitly construct the Krylov basis, expressing…
Finite density lattice QCD usually relies on extrapolations in baryon chemical potential ($\mu_B$), be it Taylor expansion, T' expansion (\cite{Borsanyi:2021sxv}) or analytical continuation. However, their range of validity is difficult to…
We discuss the dependence of observables on the chemical potential in 't Hooft's large-N QCD. To this end we use the worldline formalism to expand the fermionic determinant in powers of 1/N. We consider the hadronic as well as the…
