Disordered Holographic Systems II: Marginal Relevance of Imperfection
Allan Adams, Sho Yaida
We continue our study of quenched disorder in holographic systems, focusing on the effects of mild electric disorder. By studying the renormalization group evolution of the disorde…
Disordered Holographic Systems I: Functional Renormalization
Allan Adams, Sho Yaida
We study quenched disorder in strongly correlated systems via holography, focusing on the thermodynamic effects of mild electric disorder. Disorder is introduced through a random p…
Adventures in Holographic Dimer Models
Shamit Kachru, Andreas Karch, Sho Yaida
We abstract the essential features of holographic dimer models, and develop several new applications of these models. First, semi-holographically coupling free band fermions to hol…
Holographic Lattices, Dimers, and Glasses
Shamit Kachru, Andreas Karch, Sho Yaida
We holographically engineer a periodic lattice of localized fermionic impurities within a plasma medium by putting an array of probe D5-branes in the background produced by N D3-br…
Landscape versus Swampland for Higher Derivative Gravity
Sho Yaida
We survey recent studies of Gauss-Bonnet gravity and its dual conformal field theories, including their relation to the violation of the Kovtun-Starinets-Son viscosity bound. Via h…
Viscosity Bound and Causality Violation
Mauro Brigante, Hong Liu, Robert C. Myers +2
In recent work we showed that, for a class of conformal field theories (CFT) with Gauss-Bonnet gravity dual, the shear viscosity to entropy density ratio, , could violate the…
