Holographic dissipation prefers the Landau over the Keldysh form

Abstract

Although holographic duality has been regarded as a complementary tool in helping understand the non-equilibrium dynamics of strongly coupled many-body systems, it still remains a remarkable challenge how to confront its predictions quantitatively with the real experimental scenarios. By matching the holographic vortex dynamics with the phenomenological dissipative Gross-Pitaeviskii models, we find that the holographic dissipation mechanism can be well captured by the Landau form rather than the Keldysh one, although the latter is much more widely used in numerical simulations. Our finding is expected to open up novel avenues for facilitating the quantitative test of the holographic predictions against the upcoming experimental data. Our result also provides a prime example how holographic duality can help select proper phenomenological models to describe far-from-equilibrium nonlinear dynamics beyond the hydrodynamic regime.
