Snowmass White Paper: Effective Field Theories for Condensed Matter Systems
Tomas Brauner, Sean A. Hartnoll, Pavel Kovtun +6
We review recent progress and a number of future directions for applications of effective field theory methods to condensed matter systems broadly defined. Our emphasis is on areas…
Effective field theory of magnetohydrodynamics from generalized global symmetries
Paolo Glorioso, Dam Thanh Son
We introduce an effective action for non-dissipative magnetohydrodynamics. A crucial guiding principle is the generalized global symmetry of electrodynamics, which naturally leads…
Collisions in Chiral Kinetic Theory
Jing-Yuan Chen, Dam T. Son, Mikhail A. Stephanov
Using a covariant formalism, we construct a chiral kinetic theory Lorentz invariant to order which includes collisions. We find a new contribution to the partic…
Hall viscosity from effective field theory
Alberto Nicolis, Dam Thanh Son
For two-dimensional non-dissipative fluids with broken parity, we show via effective field theory methods that the infrared dynamics generically exhibit Hall viscosity--a conservat…
Holographic Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless Transitions
Kristan Jensen, Andreas Karch, Dam T. Son +1
We find the first example of a quantum Berenzinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless (BKT) phase transition in two spatial dimensions via holography. This transition occurs in the D3/D5 system…
Hydrodynamics with Triangle Anomalies
Dam T. Son, Piotr Surowka
We consider the hydrodynamic regime of theories with quantum anomalies for global currents. We show that a hitherto discarded term in the conserve current is not only allowed by sy…
