We study baryonic matter with isospin asymmetry, including fully dynamically its interplay with pion condensation. To this end, we employ the holographic Witten-Sakai-Sugimoto model and the so-called homogeneous ansatz for the gauge fields in the bulk to describe baryonic matter. Within the confined geometry and restricting ourselves to the chiral limit, we map out the phase structure in the presence of baryon and isospin chemical potentials, showing that for sufficiently large chemical potentials condensed pions and isospin-asymmetric baryonic matter coexist. We also present first results of the same approach in the deconfined geometry and demonstrate that this case, albeit technically more involved, is better suited for comparisons with and predictions for real-world QCD. Our study lays the ground for future improved holographic studies aiming towards a realistic description of charge neutral, beta-equilibrated matter in compact stars, and also for more refined comparisons with lattice studies at nonzero isospin chemical potential.

  1. Holographic Soliton Crystals for Dense Nuclear Matter and Neutron Stars

    hep-ph 2026-07 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    A crystal of holographic baryons in the Witten-Sakai-Sugimoto model yields a nuclear-matter equation of state compatible with neutron-star observations.

  2. Quark flavors in hot and dense holographic QCD: setup and comparison to data

    hep-ph 2025-07 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    A 2+1 flavor holographic QCD model fitted to lattice thermodynamics predicts a smoother nuclear-to-quark matter transition with lower latent heat than earlier V-QCD models.

  3. Pion properties in isospin-asymmetric nuclear matter using in-medium chiral perturbation theory

    nucl-th 2025-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    In isospin-asymmetric nuclear matter, the three pions acquire distinct in-medium masses, wave function renormalizations, and decay constants, computed at two-loop order with in-medium chiral perturbation theory.

  4. Locating the QCD critical point with neutron-star observations

    astro-ph.HE 2025-06 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Bayesian analysis of a hybrid holographic EOS with neutron-star constraints locates the QCD critical endpoint at μ≈626 MeV and T≈119 MeV and predicts a strong first-order deconfinement transition at zero temperature.
