We point out a new configuration in the Witten-Sakai-Sugimoto model, allowing baryons in the pointlike approximation to coexist with fundamental quarks. The resulting phase is a holographic realization of quarkyonic matter, which is predicted to occur in QCD at a large number of colors, and possibly plays a role in real-world QCD as well. We find that holographic quarkyonic matter is chirally symmetric and that, for large baryon chemical potentials, it is energetically preferred over pure nuclear matter and over pure quark matter. The zero-temperature transition from nuclear matter to the quarkyonic phase is of first order in the chiral limit and for a realistic pion mass. For pion masses far beyond the physical point we observe a quark-hadron continuity due to the presence of quarkyonic matter.

Quark Phase Space Distributions in Nuclei
Using Wigner distributions, the authors find that the fraction of baryons with quark phase-space occupancy above the Pauli bound tends to a constant for heavy nuclei, supporting the plausibility of low-momentum suppression.

Correlations between nuclear incompressibility, liquid-gas critical point, and quarkyonic transition
Across five real gas equations of state, nuclear incompressibility K0 is positively correlated with the liquid-gas critical temperature and density, and negatively correlated with the quarkyonic transition density and...
