Deconfinement and chiral restoration phase transition under rotation from holography in an anisotropic gravitational background

We investigate the effects of rotation on deconfinement and chiral phase transitions in the framework of the dynamical holographic QCD model. Instead of transforming to the rotating system by Lorentz boost, we construct an anisotropic gravitational background by incorporating the rotating boundary current. We first investigate the pure gluon system under rotation to extract deconfinement phase transition from the Polyakov loop then add two-flavor probe for chiral restoration phase transition from the chiral condensate. It is observed that at low chemical potentials, the deconfinement phase transition of pure gluon system is of first order and the chiral phase transition of a two-flavor system is of crossover. Both the critical temperatures of deconfinement and chiral phase transitions decrease/increase with imaginary/real angular velocity (ΩI/Ω) as T/Tc∼1−C2ΩI2 and T/Tc∼1+C2Ω2, which is consistent with lattice QCD results. In the temperature-chemical potential T−μ phase diagram, the critical end point moves toward regions of higher temperature and chemical potential with real angular velocity.
