Holographic Duality with a View Toward Many-Body Physics

By John McGreevy. 2009

663 citations recorded by the source corpus.

These are notes based on a series of lectures given at the KITP workshop Quantum Criticality and the AdS/CFT Correspondence in July, 2009. The goal of the lectures was to introduce condensed matter physicists to the AdS/CFT correspondence. Discussion of string theory and of supersymmetry is avoided to the extent possible.

Strongly correlated quantum fluids: ultracold quantum gases, quantum chromodynamic plasmas and holographic duality (2012, background): “For a more detailed introduction, several excellent reviews are available, including [184, 310, 313, 314, 315, 316, 317, 20, 318, 319, 320, 321], from which we have drawn heavily in preparing various parts of this section.”
BMS/GCA redux: towards flatspace holography from non-relativistic symmetries (2012, neutral): “arious non-relativistic version of AdS/CFT have been recently studied in great detail in view of possible connections to strongly coupled condensed matter systems which are inherently nonrelativistic [8, 9, 10]. The symmetries of the non-relativistic CFTs on the boundary have been dierent in these d”
A Holographic View on Physics out of Equilibrium (2010, background): “See also [7] for a nice review with emphasis on ‘applied holography’.”
Dynamical boson stars (2012, background): “Motivation comes from various ideas including string theory (more dimensions) such as the AdS/CFT correspondence and holography (one fewer dimensions) [158, 160, 182].”
Numerical methods for finding stationary gravitational solutions (2015, background): “[231] J.”
Electron stars for holographic metallic criticality (2010, neutral): “Partially motivated by these difficulties, in this paper we will use the holographic correspondence [7, 8, 9, 10] to study a strongly interacting system of gapless bosons with a finite density of fermions.”
Semi-holographic Fermi liquids (2010, neutral): “[4–7].”
Towards strange metallic holography (2009, background): “(2)For introductions to the holographic approach to finite density systems see [9, 10, 11, 12].”
Wilsonian approach to fluid/gravity duality (2010, background): “• Condensed matter / cold atoms One possible application is to the recent exciting work (for reviews see [36,37,38]) on trying to solve or understand a variety of condensed matter and cold atomic systems via the construction of holographic gravity duals.”
Probe branes, time-dependent couplings and thermalization in AdS/CFT (2010, methodology): “Such probe branes [25] have been used to model flavor physics [26–28] and quantum critical phenomena : this ”top-down” approach [29–33] is complementary to the ”bottom-up” approach involving the physics of charged black holes in AdS [10, 11, 34, 35].”
Holography of dyonic dilaton black branes (2010, background): “There is hope and excitement that these developments might lead to a better understanding of some quantum critical theories occurring in Nature, for example in superfluid-insulator transitions or in cuprate materials which exhibit high Tc superconductivity [1, 2, 3, 4, 5].”
