We study the poles of the retarded Green's functions of strongly coupled field theories exhibiting a variety of phase structures from a crossover up to a first order phase transition. These theories are modeled by a dual gravitational description. The poles of the holographic Green's functions appear at the frequencies of the quasinormal modes of the dual black hole background. We establish that near the transition, in all cases considered, the applicability of a hydrodynamic description breaks down already at lower momenta than in the conformal case. We establish the appearance of the spinodal region in the case of the first order phase transition at temperatures for which the speed of sound squared is negative. An estimate of the preferential scale attained by the unstable modes is also given. We additionally observe a novel diffusive regime for sound modes for a range of wavelengths.

  1. Bubble dynamics and vortex formation in holographic first-order superfluid phase transitions

    hep-th 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    Holographic simulations of first-order superfluid transitions reveal that three-bubble collisions produce annihilating vortex-antivortex pairs whose lifetime scales logarithmically near critical radii, deviating from ...

  2. Nonequilibrium crossover in the supercritical region from quench dynamics

    cond-mat.stat-mech 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    Quench dynamics in a holographic superfluid reveal a nonequilibrium crossover line in the supercritical region defined by a turning point in invasion velocity.

  3. Phase separation seeded by Z2 and U(1) topological defects from holography

    hep-th 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    Holographic simulations demonstrate that Z2 and U(1) topological defects universally seed phase separation, with cores expanding into domains under a double-quench protocol.

  4. Nonequilibrium crossover in the supercritical region from quench dynamics

    cond-mat.stat-mech 2026-04 conditional novelty 6.0

    In a holographic superfluid, the speed of a topological-defect-driven invasion front has a maximum at a particular quench endpoint, which the authors propose as a new nonequilibrium supercritical crossover line.
