Holographic approach of the spinodal instability to criticality

Abstract A smoking gun signature for a first-order phase transition with negative speed of sound squared c s 2 $$ {c}_s^2 $$ is the occurrence of a spinodal instability. In the gauge/gravity duality it corresponds to a Gregory-Laflamme type instability, which can be numerically simulated as the evol...
