Holographic quantum singularity

Abstract
In this study, we have analytically considered a dislocation in three-dimensional Weyl semimetal and its holographic model. A quantum singularity that originated in the dislocation creates a defect in momentum space. This defect causes topologically protected zero-energy mode bound to the quantum singularity. The defect has two aspects: First, it prevents the formation of a topological winding number. Second, it provides another topological number around itself. The gauge field adjusts these effects of the defect, and it is possible to control the phase transition. Further, from holographic duality, the quantum singularity is mapped onto a domain wall of classical gravity. We find that the domain wall causes a violation of gauge invariance of bulk spacetime. We also demonstrate that the quantum singularity is comparable to the anomaly from the gauge invariance breaking of the bulk spacetime, and holographic entanglement entropy reveals the information encoded in the defect of momentum space.
