Proof of the AGT Conjecture at Generic $\beta$

We give an all-level proof of the four-point $SU(2)$ AGT correspondence with four fundamental hypermultiplets at generic $\beta=-\epsilon_1/\epsilon_2$, by proving an all-level factorization formula for Selberg averages of generalized Jack polynomials. Taking a coefficientwise Jack limit of the generalized Macdonald Pieri rule, we obtain the required one-box matrix elements in the strict Cauchy dual basis. A rational corner-function identity then evaluates the sum over all parent double partitions, while an explicit total derivative of the Selberg kernel yields a triangular recursion on the Dotsenko-Fateev charge balance hyperplane. The unique solution of this recursion is the generalized Kadell formula previously verified only through finite level. Combining this result with the generalized Cauchy identity identifies each double partition term with the corresponding Nekrasov fixed-point contribution.

Hot Holographic 2-flavor Quark Star

Applying the holographic 2-flavor Einstein--Maxwell-dilaton model, the parameters of which are fixed by lattice QCD, we extract the equations of state for hot quark--gluon plasma around the critical point at T=182 MeV, and have corresponding quark star cores constructed. By further adding hadron shells, the mass range of the whole stars spans from 2 to 17 solar masses, with the maximum compactness around 0.22. This result allows them to be black hole mimickers and candidates for gap events. The I--Love--Q--C relations are also analyzed, which show consistency with the neutron star cases when the discontinuity at the quark--hadron interface is not large. Furthermore, we illustrate the full parameter maps of the energy density and pressure as functions of the temperature and chemical potential and discuss the constant thermal conductivity case supposing a heat source inside.

Predictions on observing hot holographic quark star with gravitational waves

We extract the equation of state of hot quark matter from a holographic 2+1 flavor QCD model, which could form the core of a stable compact star. By adding a thin hadron shell, a new type of hybrid star is constructed. With the temperature serving as a parameter, the EoS varies and we obtain stable stars with mass ranging from about 5 to 30 solar masses, and the maximum compactness around 0.2. The I-Love-Q-C relations are further discussed, and compared with the neutron star cases. These compact stars are candidates for black hole mimickers, which could be observed by gravitational waves and distinguished by properties like nonzero tidal Love number and electromagnetic signals.
