    hep-th 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    Holographic duals from Romans supergravity with Abelian magnetic flux yield confining 4D theories with a flux-driven zero-temperature deconfinement transition and a spectrum dominated by two nearly degenerate light sc...

    The drag force on a heavy quark in a rotating finite-density holographic plasma is purely tangential and anisotropic, with worldsheet regularity fixing the renormalised transverse force and selecting a co-rotating equ...

    hep-th 2026-01 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    A continuous one-parameter family of holographic geometries interpolates between confining and deconfined phases, with string tension and chiral condensate vanishing smoothly at the black hole endpoint.
