Quarks and baryons in QGP and neutron stars
- Kenji Fukushima (The University of Tokyo)
Due to gluon splittings into quark anti-quark pairs, initial fluctuations in baryon (B), strangeness (S), and electric charge (Q) are possible in a high-energy initial condition for the Quark Gluon Plasma. We assume that the initial condition given by
TRENTO provides the gluon distribution and then we convert that into BSQ charge fluc- tuations using the newly developed ICCING code that...
Baryons in holography arise as bulk instantons of the flavor gauge fields. In this talk I will discuss how these solutions are obtained in the class of models called V-QCD (a phenomenological holographic model for QCD in the Veneziano limit). I will discuss the role of Chern-Simons terms, how bulk instanton number is related to boundary baryon charge once suitable regularity conditions are...
