This is a collection of notes based on lectures given at IIT Madras in September 2019 and at IFT Madrid in November 2019. It is supposed to be a concise (and therefore not comprehensive) and pragmatic course on applied holography and especially the (basic) analytic and numerical techniques involved. The lectures are not focused on the large theoretical and fundamental background which can be found already in several places in the literature, but rather on concrete applications of Bottom-Up AdS-CFT to Hydrodynamics, QCD and Condensed Matter. The idea is to accompany the reader step by step through the various benchmark examples with a classmate attitude, providing details of the computations and open-source numerical codes in Mathematica, and sharing simple tricks and warnings collected during my research experience. At the end of this path, the reader will be in possess of all the fundamental skills and tools to learn by himself/herself more advanced techniques and to produce independent and novel research on the topic.

  1. Nonequilibrium steady states in driven holographic Weyl semi-metals

    hep-th 2026-02 conditional novelty 6.0

    A driven holographic Weyl semimetal supports a stable nonequilibrium steady state, becomes superharmonic and then chaotic at stronger driving, and exhibits strong-coupling chiral pumping in a magnetic field.

  2. Pole-skipping without master variable and holographic superfluids

    hep-th 2025-12 conditional novelty 6.0

    A master-variable-free matrix formalism for pole-skipping, applied to holographic superfluids, shows that the massless order parameter produces no new hydrodynamic pole-skipping point.

  3. The dual Ginzburg-Landau theory for a holographic superfluid/superconductor: Critical dynamics

    hep-th 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Identifies the dual model F equations for a 5D holographic superconductor/superfluid in the probe limit, obtaining numerical coefficients exactly.

  4. Comments on higher-derivative corrections in the AdS/CFT duality

    hep-th 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 3.0

    Prior works on higher-derivative corrections to holographic superconductors may employ an incorrect AdS/CFT dictionary, so that the direction of change in spontaneous condensate depends on the specific model with no u...
