Criticality and Transport in Magnetized Holographic Systems

Abstract

In this master's thesis the Einstein-Maxwell-Dilaton theory is used to model the dynamics of 2+1-dimensional, strongly coupled, large-$N$ quantum field theories with intrinsic T-violation, at finite density and temperature, in the presence of a magnetic field. We include axion fields in order to introduce momentum relaxation. We find analytic expressions for the DC conductivity and present numerical results for the AC conductivity. We also classify the IR-asymptotic hyperscaling violating solutions of the theory.
