Chiral Soliton Lattices under Magnetic Fields and Rotation: a Holographic Analysis

Abstract

We study the chiral soliton lattice (CSL) in rotating QCD matter under a background magnetic field within holographic QCD. We show that rotation can be incorporated as a background gauge field and that the CSL in rotating matter becomes a ground state in the gravity dual. We also provide a brane interpretation of the CSL under a magnetic field and rotation. Solving the bulk equations, we derive an effective Hamiltonian where the meson decay constant $\tilde{f}$ emerges as an anisotropic, field-dependent matrix. Furthermore, we discuss the thermodynamic properties of the ground state in rotating matter and study its equation of state.
