Holographic QCD with Isospin Chemical Potential

Understand

We consider configurations of D4-D8-\bar D8 branes which correspond to large N QCD with non-vanishing temperature and chemical potential for baryon number and isospin.

• We study the holographic dual of this model and find a rich phase structure.
• The phases, distinguished by the values of quark condensates, are separated by the surfaces of first order phase transitions.
• The picture is in many respects similar to the expected phase structure of QCD in the chiral limit.
