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…
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…
Volume independence in large Nc QCD-like gauge theories
Pavel Kovtun, Mithat Unsal, Laurence G. Yaffe
Volume independence in large $\Nc$ gauge theories may be viewed as a generalized orbifold equivalence. The reduction to zero volume (or Eguchi-Kawai reduction) is a special case of…
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…
