We present evidence for a spatially modulated instability within the deconfined quark-gluon plasma phase of QCD. This evidence is based on robust predictions from generic holographic models, accurately fitted to lattice data, where the instability is driven by the Chern-Simons term mandated by the flavor anomalies of QCD. Such an instability occurs universally across holographic models at surprisingly low densities, within the crossover region amenable to lattice and experimental studies, therefore inviting further explorations of inhomogeneous phases in this region.

  1. 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.

  2. The Tachyon Chern-Simons action with a generic tachyon field, and baryons in V-QCD

    hep-th 2026-07 accept novelty 6.5 of 10

    General Tachyon-Chern-Simons forms are built via Quillen superconnections for arbitrary tachyon matrices, and baryon number equals the superconnection instanton number even with massive, flavor-dependent quarks.
