Description
The discovery of gravitational waves has opened a new experimental window into the Universe. The fact that the relevant physics is often out of equilibrium offers a golden opportunity for holography to make a unique impact on cosmology and astrophysics. I will illustrate this through the dynamics of first-order phase transitions in the early Universe and in neutron star mergers. If time permits, I will briefly mention possible applications to thermal inflation and baryogenesis.
