NICER view on holographic QCD
Niko Jokela (University of Helsinki)
Abstract: Holographic techniques are particularly fit to analyzing matter at extreme conditions where QCD matter is strongly coupled. Combining predictions of the holographic model with state-of-the-art effective field theory models of nuclear matter, I construct a family of feasible "hybrid" equations of state which cover both the quark matter and nuclear matter phases. The model predicts, among other things, that the NICER's radius measurement is fully consistent with the absence of quark matter inside massive neutron stars. I also briefly overview some results that holography has achieved on general level as well as discuss how I foresee holography contributing to compact-star physics in the coming years

Frontiers of Holographic Duality-3
Series comments: Having been initially used as a tool to explore strongly coupled phenomena, holography found important applications and intriguing insights in the structure of quantum gravity and quantum information, linking them to certain universal properties of strongly coupled chaotic quantum systems. It provides unified geometric tools for the description of various phenomena in the heavy ions collision physics, many-body physics applications, black hole physics, and quantum information theory.
The aim is to explore a wide variety of aspects of holographic duality, bringing together specialists in main topics to have comprehensive, but intensive discussions of the frontiers of holography and closely related subjects of quantum information and strongly-coupled theory.
The topics to be discussed include holographic duality and applications:
-holographic quantum chromodynamics and heavy ions collisions; -entanglement, chaos and many-body phenomena; -black holes and quantum information.
