Description
Gravitational waves (GWs) produced during first-order phase transitions (FOPTs) in strongly coupled quantum field theories (QFTs) pose a significant challenge for precise prediction due to the complexities of strong coupling. In this talk, we present a method for predicting the GW spectra of such theories by integrating holographic techniques with lattice data from pure SU(N) Yang-Mills theory. We show how holography can be used to construct an effective action, which then serves as the basis for studying bubble nucleation and predicting the resulting GW spectra. Finally, we discuss the broader phenomenological implications of our results.
