abstract

Chiral phase transition for three-flavor $N_f=2+1$ QCD with $m_u=m_d\neq m_s$ is investigated in a modified soft-wall holographic QCD model. Solving temperature dependent chiral condensates from equations of motion of the modified soft-wall model, we extract the quark mass dependence of the order of chiral phase transition in the case of $N_f=2+1$, and the result is in agreement with the "Colombia Plot", which is summarized from lattice simulations and other non-perturbative methods. First order phase transition is observed around the three flavor chiral limit $m_{u/d}=0, m_{s}=0$, while at sufficient large quark masses it turns to be a crossover phase transition. The first order and crossover regions are separated by a second order phase transition line. The second order line is divided into two parts by the $m_{u/d}=m_s$ line, and the $m_s$ dependence of the transition temperature in these two parts are totally contrast, which might indicate that the two parts are governed by different universality classes.

  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. Probing the chiral and $U(1)$ axial symmetry restoration via meson susceptibilities in holographic QCD

    hep-ph 2026-03 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    In a soft-wall holographic QCD model, chiral symmetry restores at ~155 MeV while the U(1) axial symmetry restores near 190 MeV — a separation the authors present despite an admitted mismatch with lattice QCD below 175 MeV.

  3. Scaling functions in the soft-wall AdS/QCD models

    hep-ph 2025-07 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    Soft-wall AdS/QCD models reproduce mean-field chiral scaling functions and follow a T_c scaling law whose slope, tuned by a modified potential, can approach Dyson-Schwinger results.

  4. Dynamics of chiral phase transition in a $N_f=2+1$ soft-wall AdS/QCD model

    hep-ph 2025-07 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    In a 2+1 flavor soft-wall AdS/QCD model, the chiral condensate exhibits slow, non-trivial relaxation with a metastable plateau or overshoot when quenched close to the phase transition.
