Non-equilibrium Transport in the Strange Metal and Pseudogap phases of the Cuprates

Ka Wai Lo, Seungmin Hong, Philip W. Phillips

We propose that the non-equilibrium current measured in the plane of an underdoped cuprate (in either the strange metal or pseudogap regime) in contact with either an overdop…

Non-Fermi Liquid behavior at the Orbital Ordering Quantum Critical Point in the Two-Orbital Model

Ka Wai Lo, Wei-Cheng Lee, Philip W. Phillips

The critical behavior of a two-orbital model with degenerate and orbitals is investigated by multidimensional bosonization. We find that the corresponding bosonic…

Pomeranchuk Instability in a non-Fermi Liquid from Holography

Mohammad Edalati, Ka Wai Lo, Philip W. Phillips

The Pomeranchuk instability, in which an isotropic Fermi surface distorts and becomes anisotropic due to strong interactions, is a possible mechanism for the growing number of expe…

Neutral Order Parameters in Metallic Criticality in d=2+1 from a Hairy Electron Star

Mohammad Edalati, Ka Wai Lo, Philip W. Phillips

We use holography to study the spontaneous condensation of a neutral order parameter in a (2+1)-dimensional field theory at zero-temperature and finite density, dual to the electro…

Dynamical Gap and Cuprate-like Physics from Holography

Mohammad Edalati, Robert G. Leigh, Ka Wai Lo +1

We study the properties of fermion correlators in a boundary theory dual to the Reissner-Nordström AdS_{d+1} background in the presence of a bulk dipole (Pauli) interaction term wi…

The spin parameter of uniformly rotating compact stars

Ka-Wai Lo, Lap-Ming Lin

We study the dimensionless spin parameter of uniformly rotating neutron stars and quark stars in general relativity. We show numerically that the maximum value…
