Bootstrapping transport in the Drude-Kadanoff-Martin model

Subham Dutta Chowdhury, Sean A. Hartnoll, Aditya Hebbar +1

The Drude-Kadanoff-Martin model is a simple low energy and long wavelength description of charge transport, parameterised by the current relaxation timescale , charge diffusivi…

Holographic Banners

Matthew J. Blacker, Sean A. Hartnoll

This paper is concerned with eternal AdS black holes. The quantum cosmological future and past interior states of the black hole may be placed on an equal footing to the left and r…

Lieb-Robinson causality and non-Fermi liquids

Subham Dutta Chowdhury, Sean A. Hartnoll, Aditya Hebbar

Quantum mechanical lattice models with local, bounded interactions obey Lieb-Robinson causality. We show that this implies a domain of analyticity of the retarded Green's function…

Statistical Physics of the Polarised IKKT Matrix Model

Sean A. Hartnoll, Jun Liu

The polarised IKKT matrix model is the worldpoint theory of D-instantons in a background three-form flux of magnitude , and promises to be a highly tractable model of holog…

Wheeler-DeWitt wavefunctions for 5d BKL dynamics, automorphic L-functions and complex primon gases

Marine De Clerck, Sean A. Hartnoll, Ming Yang

The near-singularity BKL dynamics of five dimensional gravity and supergravity (and also an extended four-dimensional supergravity) is known to be given by the billiard problem of…

The Conformal Primon Gas at the End of Time

Sean A. Hartnoll, Ming Yang

The Belinksy-Khalatnikov-Lifshitz dynamics of gravity close to a spacelike singularity can be mapped, at each point in space separately, onto the motion of a particle bouncing with…
