New phases of $$ \mathcal{N} $$ = 4 SYM at finite chemical potential
A bstract We do a systematic search of supergravity solutions that, via the AdS 5 /CFT 4 correspondence, are dual to thermal states in $$ \mathcal{N} $$ <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"><mml:mi>N</mml:mi></mml:math> = 4 SYM at finite chemical potential. These solutions dominate the microcanonical ensemble and are required to ultimately reproduce the microscopic …
