Black holes and universality classes of critical points
Pavel Kovtun, Adam Ritz
We argue that there exists an infinite class of conformal field theories in diverse dimensions, having a universal ratio of the central charge c to the normalized entropy density c…

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…

Quantum critical transport, duality, and M-theory
Christopher P. Herzog, Pavel Kovtun, Subir Sachdev +1
We consider charge transport properties of 2+1 dimensional conformal field theories at non-zero temperature. For theories with only Abelian U(1) charges, we describe the action of…
