Dissipative hydrodynamic actions and horizon symmetries in gravity

Mike Blake, Arpit Das, Richard A. Davison

We give a prescription to compute a dissipative action describing the large-scale thermal stress tensor dynamics of a holographic quantum field theory dual to AdS gravity, in t…

Hydrodynamic diffusion and its breakdown near AdS quantum critical points

Daniel Arean, Richard A. Davison, Blaise Goutéraux +1

Hydrodynamics provides a universal description of interacting quantum field theories at sufficiently long times and wavelengths, but breaks down at scales dependent on microscopic…

Horizon constraints on holographic Green's functions

Mike Blake, Richard A. Davison, David Vegh

We explore a new class of general properties of thermal holographic Green's functions that can be deduced from the near-horizon behaviour of classical perturbations in asymptotical…

Impact of irrelevant deformations on thermodynamics and transport in holographic quantum critical states

Richard A. Davison, Simon A. Gentle, Blaise Goutéraux

We study thermodynamic and transport observables of quantum critical states that arise in the infra-red limit of holographic renormalisation group flows. Although these observables…

Many-body chaos and energy dynamics in holography

Mike Blake, Richard A. Davison, Sašo Grozdanov +1

Recent developments have indicated that in addition to out-of-time ordered correlation functions (OTOCs), quantum chaos also has a sharp manifestation in the thermal energy density…

Thermal diffusivity and chaos in metals without quasiparticles

Mike Blake, Richard A. Davison, Subir Sachdev

We study the thermal diffusivity in models of metals without quasiparticle excitations (`strange metals'). The many-body quantum chaos and transport properties of such metals…
