Black holes and non-relativistic quantum systems
Pavel Kovtun, Dominik Nickel
We describe black holes in d+3 dimensions, whose thermodynamic properties correspond to those of a scale invariant non-relativistic d+1 dimensional quantum system with dynamical ex…

Holographic model of superfluidity
C. P. Herzog, P. K. Kovtun, D. T. Son
We study a holographic model of a relativistic quantum system with a global U(1) symmetry, at non-zero temperature and density. When the temperature falls below a critical value, w…

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…
