Description
I will discuss the holographic dual of strongly coupled,
four-dimensional SYM with massless flavour in the Veneziano
limit at finite quark density and finite temperature. The
fundamental degrees of freedom are modelled by a
distribution of D7-branes with a non-vanishing electric
field on their worldvolume that backreacts on the geometry
of a stack of colour D3-branes. I will present the RG flows
corresponding to this system discuss the thermodynamics of
the system.
