Anomalous diffusion and Noether's second theorem

Matteo Baggioli, Gabriele La Nave, Philip W. Phillips

Despite the fact that conserved currents have dimensions that are determined solely by dimensional analysis (and hence no anomalous dimensions), Nature abounds in examples of anoma…

Second-order Lovelock Gravity from Entanglement in Conformal Field Theories

Cunwei Fan, Gabriele La Nave, Philip W. Phillips

Holographic entanglement entropy and the first law of thermodynamics are believed to decode the gravity theory in the bulk. In particular, assuming the Ryu-Takayanagi (RT)\cite{ryu…

Classification of Non-local Actions: Area versus Volume Entanglement Entropy

Bora Basa, Gabriele La Nave, Philip W. Phillips

From the partition function for two classes of classically non-local actions containing the fractional Laplacian, we show that as long as there exists a suitable (non-local) Hilber…

Quantum Critical Diffusion and Thermodynamics in Lifshitz Holography

Brandon W. Langley, Philip W. Phillips

We present the full charge and energy diffusion constants for the Einstein-Maxwell dilaton (EMD) action for Lifshitz spacetime characterized by a dynamical critical exponent . T…

Conjecture on the Butterfly Velocity across a Quantum Phase Transition

Matteo Baggioli, Bikash Padhi, Philip W. Phillips +1

We study an anisotropic holographic bottom-up model displaying a quantum phase transition (QPT) between a topologically trivial insulator and a non-trivial Weyl semimetal phase. We…

Log-rise of the Resistivity in the Holographic Kondo Model

Bikash Padhi, Apoorv Tiwari, Chandan Setty +1

We study a single-channel Kondo effect using a recently developed holographic large- technique. In order to obtain resistivity of this model, we introduce a probe field. The gra…

Fractional Virasoro Algebras

Gabriele La Nave, Philip Phillips

We show that it is possible to construct a Virasoro algebra as a central extension of the fractional Witt algebra generated by non-local operators of the form, $L_n^a\equiv\left(\f…

Chiral kinetic theory and anomalous hydrodynamics in even spacetime dimensions

Vatsal Dwivedi, Michael Stone

We study the hydrodynamics of a gas of noninteracting Weyl fermions coupled to the electromagnetic field in spacetime dimensions using the chiral kinetic theory, whi…

Wilson operator algebras and ground states for coupled BF theories

Apoorv Tiwari, Xiao Chen, Shinsei Ryu

The multi-flavor theories in (3+1) dimensions with cubic or quartic coupling are the simplest topological quantum field theories that can describe fractional braiding statisti…

Viscosity bound violation in holographic solids and the viscoelastic response

Lasma Alberte, Matteo Baggioli, Oriol Pujolas

We argue that the Kovtun--Son--Starinets (KSS) lower bound on the viscosity to entropy density ratio holds in fluid systems but is violated in solid materials with a non-zero shear…

Solid Holography and Massive Gravity

Lasma Alberte, Matteo Baggioli, Andrei Khmelnitsky +1

Momentum dissipation is an important ingredient in condensed matter physics that requires a translation breaking sector. In the bottom-up gauge/gravity duality, this implies that t…

Under The Dome: Doped holographic superconductors with broken translational symmetry

Matteo Baggioli, Mikhail Goykhman

We comment on a simple way to accommodate translational symmetry breaking into the recently proposed holographic model which features a superconducting dome-shaped region on the te…

Bosonization of fermions coupled to topologically massive gravity

Eduardo Fradkin, Enrique F. Moreno, Fidel A. Schaposnik

We establish a duality between massive fermions coupled to topologically massive gravity (TGM) in space-time dimensions and a purely gravity theory which also will turn out t…
