We utilize the top-down holographic QCD model, the Witten-Sakai-Sugimoto model, in a hybrid setting with the SLy4, soft chiral EFT and stiff chiral EFT equations of state to describe neutron stars with high precision. In particular, we employ a calibration that bootstraps the nuclear matter by fitting the Kaluza-Klein scale and the 't Hooft coupling such that the physical saturation density and physical symmetry energy are achieved. We obtain static stable neutron star mass-radius data via the Tolman-Oppenheimer-Volkov equations that yield sufficiently large maximal masses of neutron stars to be compatible with the recently observed PSR-J0952-0607 data as well as all other known radius and tidal deformation constraints.

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

  2. Condensate phases of nuclear matter from AdS Hardwall models

    hep-th 2025-02 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    In a hardwall AdS/QCD model with phenomenological boundary conditions, both baryonic and quark condensates dominate the low-temperature phase diagram of dense nuclear matter.
