Abstract

We construct the electron star solution in asymptotically global AdS spacetime, and investigate its stability properties, both locally under perturbations and globally with respect to the Reissner-Nordström black hole and thermal AdS metrics. We interpret the resulting phase diagram as that of a holographic metal confined to a finite volume. We identify a quantum critical point at finite chemical potential, around which the different phases are organized.
