Holography with Broken Spacetime Symmetries - Transition into Adulthood
Offered By: ICTP-SAIFR via YouTube
Course Description
Overview
Explore a comprehensive conference talk on holography with broken spacetime symmetries and its evolution into maturity. Delve into the original motivation behind condensed matter systems and the steps taken to relax momentum and achieve finite conductivity. Examine the first holographic revolution, including the axion model, and clarify important concepts. Investigate holographic stripes and homogeneous models, and learn about the challenges faced in hydrodynamics. Discover holography-driven developments in Effective Field Theory (EFT) and uncover a universal prediction from holography that transcends broken symmetries. Gain insights into a new proposal for strange metals and contemplate future directions in this field.
Syllabus
Holography with broken spacetime symmetries and its transition into adulthood
Original motivation
Condensed matter systems
STEP 1: relaxing momentum and get finite conductivity
Solution #2: the first holographic revolution
Solution #2: a more convenient way, the axion model
Clarifying an important point
Still something missing
Solution #1: holographic stripes
Solution #2: homogeneous models
Lesson #1: hydrodynamics, we have a problem
Holography driven EFT developments
Ops, one more missing thing
General low-energy description
A universal prediction from holography
It does not depend on the symmetry which is broken
Finally, a(nother) proposal for our beloved strange metals
What is next?
