In the large N_c QCD, it is expected that the generic finite density ground state breaks translational invariance. In this talk, I will show a spatially modulated instability exists in the Sakai-Sugimoto model.

We find and study the gravity duals of the supersymmetric vacua of mass-deformed N=6 Chern-Simons-matter theory for M2-branes. Propetries of the vacua and elementary excitations are discussed.

We discuss some recent perturbative calculations for quantum strings in AdS5 x S5 and their comparison to integrability based results in planar N=4 Super Yang-Mills (SYM). We use a certain AdS version of the light-cone gauge, which is shown to yield...

We will discuss recent proposals of having effects coming from triangle anomalies of QCD in the plasma created in relativistic heavy ion collisions, such as chiral magnetic effect, chiral shear waves and chiral magnetic waves.
