Chiral Symmetry Breaking and the Critical Point in QCD-like Theories

This study employs holography within a modified D۳/D۷ framework to explore the phase diagram of a QCD-like theory. The corresponding dual theory is characterized by a large N, \mathcal{N}=۴ gauge theory, integrated with quenched \mathcal{N}=۲ quark matter and a novel dilaton profile. The research focuses on how the critical point's location in the phase diagram is influenced by temperature and chemical potential. Additionally, the study examines the trajectory of these critical points in response to alterations in the dilaton profile's control parameter, revealing a trend where the critical endpoint shifts to higher temperatures and lower chemical potentials.
