Extension to Imaginary Chemical Potential in a Holographic Model

We extend a bottom up holographic model, which has been used in studying the color superconductivity in QCD, to the imaginary chemical potential ($μ_I$) region, and the phase diagram is studied on the $μ_I$-temperature (T) plane. The analysis is performed for the case of the probe approximation and for the background where the back reaction from the flavor fermions are taken into account. For both cases, we could find the expected Roberge-Weiss (RW) transitions. In the case of the back-reacted solution, a bound of the color number $N_c$ is found to produce the RW periodicity. It is given as $N_c\geq 1.2$. Furthermore, we could assure the validity of this extended model by comparing our result with the one of the lattice QCD near $μ_I=0$.
