Stiff phases in strongly coupled gauge theories with holographic duals

Abstract According to common lore, Equations of State of field theories with gravity duals tend to be soft, with speeds of sound either below or around the conformal value of υs=1/3 $$ {\upupsilon}_s=1/\sqrt{3} $$. This has important consequences in particular for the physics of compact stars, where...
