Description
First order phase transitions are of interest in a wide range of systems, from condensed matter to cosmology, and typically proceed through bubble nucleation. While some properties are purely determined by thermodynamics, other quantities, like the bubble wall velocity, are more challenging to obtain. I will review recent results concerning the holographic description of first order phase transitions at strong coupling and their connection to the effective theory approach.
