Holographic Hadrons in Dense Medium

Abstract

In the deconfined phase with quark density the probe brane must touch the black hole horizon while in the confining phase with baryon density, the flavor brane has to be attached to the wrapped baryon vertex brane. In this talk, I describe the meson spectrum in the presence of finite baryon density in a confining gauge theory. When the current quark mass is sufficiently large, the meson mass reduces, exhibiting an interesting spectral flow as we increase the baryon density.
