Holographic Thermodynamics and Transport of Flavor Fields

Understand

We use gauge-gravity duality to study a strongly-coupled non-Abelian gauge theory with flavor fields, i.e.

• fields transforming in the fundamental representation of the gauge group.
• We first study the thermodynamics of the flavor fields.
• In the grand canonical ensemble at zero temperature, we find a second-order transition when the mass of the flavor fields equals the chemical potential.
