Strings on conifolds from strong coupling dynamics: quantitative results
David E. Berenstein, Sean A. Hartnoll
Three quantitative features of string theory on AdS_5 x X_5, for any (quasi)regular Sasaki-Einstein X_5, are recovered exactly from an expansion of field theory at strong coupling…
Theory of the Nernst effect near quantum phase transitions in condensed matter, and in dyonic black holes
Sean A. Hartnoll, Pavel K. Kovtun, Markus Mueller +1
We present a general hydrodynamic theory of transport in the vicinity of superfluid-insulator transitions in two spatial dimensions described by "Lorentz"-invariant quantum critica…
A phase transition in commuting Gaussian multi-matrix models
Ofer Aharony, Sean A. Hartnoll
We analyze in detail a second order phase transition that occurs in large N Gaussian multi-matrix models in which the matrices are constrained to be commuting. The phase transition…
Ohm's Law at strong coupling: S duality and the cyclotron resonance
Sean A. Hartnoll, Christopher P. Herzog
We calculate the electrical and thermal conductivities and the thermoelectric coefficient of a class of strongly interacting 2+1 dimensional conformal field theories with anti-de S…
Hall conductivity from dyonic black holes
Sean A. Hartnoll, Pavel Kovtun
A class of strongly interacting 2+1 dimensional conformal field theories in a transverse magnetic field can be studied using the AdS/CFT duality. We compute zero momentum hydrodyna…
