String theory, quantum phase transitions, and the emergent Fermi liquid

M Čubrović, J Zaanen, K Schalm - Science, 2009 - science.org
A central problem in quantum condensed matter physics is the critical theory governing the
zero-temperature quantum phase transition between strongly renormalized Fermi liquids as …

Towards strange metallic holography

SA Hartnoll, J Polchinski, E Silverstein… - Journal of High Energy …, 2010 - Springer
We initiate a holographic model building approach tostrange metallic'phenomenology. Our
model couples a neutral Lifshitz-invariant quantum critical theory, dual to a bulk gravitational …

Holographic Fermi surfaces and entanglement entropy

N Ogawa, T Takayanagi, T Ugajin - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2012 - Springer
A bstract We argue that Landau-Fermi liquids do not have any gravity duals in the purely
classical limit. We employ the logarithmic behavior of entanglement entropy to characterize …

Holography of charged dilaton black holes

K Goldstein, S Kachru, S Prakash… - Journal of High Energy …, 2010 - Springer
We study charged dilaton black branes in AdS 4. Our system involves a dilaton ϕ coupled to
a Maxwell field F μν with dilaton-dependent gauge coupling,\(\frac {1}{{{g^ 2}}}={f^ 2}\left …

Gravity dual of spatially modulated phase

S Nakamura, H Ooguri, CS Park - … Review D—Particles, Fields, Gravitation, and …, 2010 - APS
We show that the five-dimensional Maxwell theory with the Chern-Simons term is tachyonic
in the presence of a constant electric field. When coupled to gravity, a sufficiently large …

Semi-holographic Fermi liquids

T Faulkner, J Polchinski - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2011 - Springer
We show that the universal physics of recent holographic non-Fermi liquid models is
captured by a semi-holographic description, in which a dynamical boundary field is coupled …

Holographic superconductor/insulator transition at zero temperature

T Nishioka, S Ryu, T Takayanagi - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2010 - Springer
We analyze the five-dimensional AdS gravity coupled to a gauge field and a charged scalar
field. Under a Scherk-Schwarz compactification, we show that the system undergoes a …

Towards a holographic model of -wave superconductors

JW Chen, YJ Kao, D Maity, WY Wen, CP Yeh - Physical Review D—Particles …, 2010 - APS
The holographic model for S-wave high T c superconductors developed by Hartnoll, Herzog,
and Horowitz is generalized to describe D-wave superconductors. The 3+ 1 dimensional …

Lectures on holographic non-Fermi liquids and quantum phase transitions

N Iqbal, H Liu, M Mezei - String Theory And Its Applications: TASI …, 2012 - World Scientific
In these lecture notes we review some recent attempts in searching for non-Fermi liquids
and novel quantum phase transitions in holographic systems using gauge/gravity duality …

On heat properties of AdS black holes in higher dimensions

A Belhaj, M Chabab, H El Moumni, K Masmar… - Journal of High Energy …, 2015 - Springer
A bstract We investigate the heat properties of AdS Black Holes in higher dimensions. We
consider the study of the corresponding thermodynamical properties including the heat …
