We investigate dense baryonic matter in a bottom-up holographic QCD framework known as the hard-wall model.
Using a homogeneous Ansatz for bulk fields, we construct classical solutions with finite quark masses at zero temperature and finite baryon chemical potential.
We propose a procedure to describe baryonic matter by switching IR boundary conditions in the hard-wall model.
Through holographic renormalization, we compute thermodynamic quantities, chiral and iso-axial-vector condensates, and the equations of state.
The resulting mass-radius relations for neutron stars can satisfy an observational constraint known as the two-solar-mass constraint.
The proceeding is based on arXiv:2506.06997 [hep-ph].
