Correlation functions in theories with Lifshitz scaling

Ville Keranen, Watse Sybesma, Phillip Szepietowski +1

The 2+1 dimensional quantum Lifshitz model can be generalised to a class of higher dimensional free field theories that exhibit Lifshitz scaling. When the dynamical critical expone…

Conformal quantum mechanics and holographic quench

Jarkko Järvelä, Ville Keränen, Esko Keski-Vakkuri

Recently, there has been much interest in holographic computations of two-point non-equilibrium Green functions from AdS-Vaidya backgrounds. In the strongly coupled quantum field t…

Non-equilibrium scalar two point functions in AdS/CFT

Ville Keranen, Philipp Kleinert

In the first part of the paper, we discuss different versions of the AdS/CFT dictionary out of equilibrium. We show that the Skenderis - van Rees prescription and the "extrapolate"…

Holographic thermalization with Lifshitz scaling and hyperscaling violation

Piermarco Fonda, Lasse Franti, Ville Keranen +3

A Vaidya type geometry describing gravitation collapse in asymptotically Lifshitz spacetime with hyperscaling violation provides a simple holographic model for thermalization near…

Holographic geometries for condensed matter applications

V. Keranen, L. Thorlacius

Holographic modeling of strongly correlated many-body systems motivates the study of novel spacetime geometries where the scaling behavior of quantum critical systems is encoded in…

Thermalization of the spectral function in strongly coupled two dimensional conformal field theories

V. Balasubramanian, A. Bernamonti, B. Craps +5

Using Wigner transforms of Green functions, we discuss non-equilibrium generalizations of spectral functions and occupation numbers. We develop methods for computing time-dependent…

Thermal Correlators in Holographic Models with Lifshitz scaling

Ville Keranen, Larus Thorlacius

We study finite temperature effects in two distinct holographic models that exhibit Lifshitz scaling, looking to identify model independent features in the dual strong coupling phy…

Solitons as Probes of the Structure of Holographic Superfluids

Ville Keränen, Esko Keski-Vakkuri, Sean Nowling +1

Detailed features of solitons in holographic superfluids are discussed. Using solitons as probes, we study the behavior of holographic superfluids by varying the scaling dimension…

Inhomogeneous Structures in Holographic Superfluids: I. Dark Solitons

Ville Keranen, Esko Keski-Vakkuri, Sean Nowling +1

We begin an investigation of inhomogeneous structures in holographic superfluids. As a first example, we study domain wall like defects in the 3+1 dimensional Einstein-Maxwell-Higg…

Dark Solitons in Holographic Superfluids

Ville Keranen, Esko Keski-Vakkuri, Sean Nowling +1

We construct dark soliton solutions in a holographic model of a relativistic superfluid. We study the length scales associated with the condensate and the charge density depletion,…
