Detectors in Nonrelativistic Conformal Field Theories
Cyuan-Han Chang, Subham Dutta Chowdhury, Ian Moult +1
Correlations in asymptotic fluxes provide one of the primary experimental means of studying physical systems. In the context of relativistic QFT, the formalization of such experime…
Nonrelativistic Conformal Collider Physics of Multiparticle Point Production
Cyuan-Han Chang, Subham Dutta Chowdhury, Ian Moult +1
We define detector operators in the nonrelativistic conformal field theory describing fermions at unitarity. We reduce the problem of computing the momentum distribution and correl…
Applied nonrelativistic conformal field theory: scattering-length and effective-range corrections to unnuclear physics
Subham Dutta Chowdhury, Ruchira Mishra, Dam Thanh Son
Due to an accidentally large -wave scattering length, in a relatively wide range of energy, neutrons are approximately described by the nonrelativistic conformal field theory of…
Dense Chern-Simons Matter with Fermions at Large N
Michael Geracie, Mikhail Goykhman, Dam T. Son
In this paper we investigate properties of Chern-Simons theory coupled to massive fermions in the large N limit. We demonstrate that at low temperatures the system is in a Fermi li…
Operator Product Expansion and Conservation Laws in Non-Relativistic Conformal Field Theories
Siavash Golkar, Dam T. Son
We explore the consequences of conformal symmetry for the operator product expansions in nonrelativistic field theories. Similar to the relativistic case, the OPE coefficients of d…
The Euler current and relativistic parity odd transport
Siavash Golkar, Matthew M. Roberts, Dam T. Son
For a spacetime of odd dimensions endowed with a unit vector field, we introduce a new topological current that is identically conserved and whose charge is equal to the Euler char…
Lorentz Invariance in Chiral Kinetic Theory
Jing-Yuan Chen, Dam T. Son, Mikhail A. Stephanov +2
We show that Lorentz invariance is realized nontrivially in the classical action of a massless spin- particle with definite helicity. We find that the ordinary Lorentz tra…
Effective field theory for fluids: Hall viscosity from a Wess-Zumino-Witten term
Michael Geracie, Dam Thanh Son
We propose an effective action that describe a relativistic fluid with Hall viscosity. The construction involves a Wess-Zumino-Witten term that exists only in (2+1) spacetime dimen…
Holographic Spontaneous Parity Breaking and Emergent Hall Viscosity and Angular Momentum
Dam Thanh Son, Chaolun Wu
We study the spontaneous parity breaking and generating of Hall viscosity and angular momentum in holographic p+ip model, which can describe strongly-coupled chiral superfluid stat…
Kinetic theory with Berry curvature from quantum field theories
Dam Thanh Son, Naoki Yamamoto
A kinetic theory can be modified to incorporate triangle anomalies and the chiral magnetic effect by taking into account the Berry curvature flux through the Fermi surface. We show…
(Non)-Renormalization of the Chiral Vortical Effect Coefficient
Siavash Golkar, Dam T. Son
We show using diagramtic arguments that in some (but not all) cases, the temperature dependent part of the chiral vortical effect coefficient is independent of the coupling constan…
Effective field theory for hydrodynamics: thermodynamics, and the derivative expansion
Sergei Dubovsky, Lam Hui, Alberto Nicolis +1
We consider the low-energy effective field theory describing the infrared dynamics of non-dissipative fluids. We extend previous work to accommodate conserved charges, and we clari…
Hall viscosity from gauge/gravity duality
Omid Saremi, Dam Thanh Son
In (2+1)-dimensional systems with broken parity, there exists yet another transport coefficient, appearing at the same order as the shear viscosity in the hydrodynamic derivative e…
Deconstructing holographic liquids
Dominik Nickel, Dam T. Son
We argue that there exist simple effective field theories describing the long-distance dynamics of holographic liquids. The degrees of freedom responsible for the transport of char…
Hydrodynamics of R-charged black holes
Dam T. Son, Andrei O. Starinets
We consider hydrodynamics of N=4 supersymmetric SU(N_c) Yang-Mills plasma at a nonzero density of R-charge. In the regime of large N_c and large 't Hooft coupling the gravity dual…
Holography and hydrodynamics: diffusion on stretched horizons
Pavel Kovtun, Dam T. Son, Andrei O. Starinets
We show that long-time, long-distance fluctuations of plane-symmetric horizons exhibit universal hydrodynamic behavior. By considering classical fluctuations around black-brane bac…
Shear viscosity of strongly coupled N=4 supersymmetric Yang-Mills plasma
G. Policastro, D. T. Son, A. O. Starinets
Using the anti-de Sitter/conformal field theory correspondence, we relate the shear viscosity ηof the finite-temperature N=4 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory in the large N, strong…
