Strongly interacting matter undergoes a crossover phase transition at high temperatures $T\sim 10^{12}$ K and zero net-baryon density. A fundamental question in the theory of strong interactions, Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD), is whether a…
We propose a holographic theory to explain numbers of anomalous critical phenomena observed in certain heavy-fermion metals, e.g. $\mathrm{CeCu_{5.9}Au_{0.1}}$ and $\mathrm{YbRh_{2}(Si_{0.95}Ge_{0.05}})_{2}$, which are incompatible with any…
