Short-distance and short-time structure of a unitary Fermi gas

Dam T. Son, Ethan G. Thompson

We consider the operator product expansions for unitarity fermions. We compute the dynamic structure factor S(q,w) at large frequency and wavenumber away from the one-particle peak…

Holographic Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless Transitions

Kristan Jensen, Andreas Karch, Dam T. Son +1

We find the first example of a quantum Berenzinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless (BKT) phase transition in two spatial dimensions via holography. This transition occurs in the D3/D5 system…

A Holographic Quantum Critical Point at Finite Magnetic Field and Finite Density

Kristan Jensen, Andreas Karch, Ethan G. Thompson

We analyze the phase diagram of N=4 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory with fundamental matter in the presence of a background magnetic field and nonzero baryon number. We identify a…

A holographic perspective on non-relativistic conformal defects

Andreas Karch, Piotr Surowka, Ethan G. Thompson

We study defects in non-relativistic conformal field theories. As in the well-studied case of relativistic conformal defects, we find that a useful tool to organize correlation fun…

The Stress-Energy Tensor of Flavor Fields from AdS/CFT

Andreas Karch, Andy O'Bannon, Ethan Thompson

We use the AdS/CFT correspondence to study the transport properties of massive N=2 hypermultiplet fields in an N=4 SU(Nc) super-Yang-Mills theory plasma in the large Nc, large 't H…

Conformal non-relativistic hydrodynamics from gravity

Mukund Rangamani, Simon F. Ross, D. T. Son +1

We show that the recently constructed holographic duals of conformal non-relativistic theories behave hydrodynamically at long distances, and construct the gravitational dual of fl…
