Holographic Duality with a View Toward Many-Body Physics
نویسنده
چکیده
These are notes based on a series of lectures given at the KITP workshop Quantum Criticality and the AdS/CFT Correspondence in July, 2009. The goal of the lectures was to introduce condensed matter physicists to the AdS/CFT correspondence. Discussion of string theory and of supersymmetry is avoided to the extent possible.

Interacting fermions :
Most materials are either metals or insulators. When they are metals, their electronic properties are usually described by Landau's Fermi liquid theory. That is, they behave more or less like a free Fermi gas, with a few modifications due to electron-electron interactions. However, there exist a few metallic materials whose phenomenology does not fit within Fermi liquid theory. These are quasi-...
متن کاملHolography and Emergent 4D Gravity
I review recent work toward constructing, via five-dimensional holographic duals, fourdimensional theories in which spin-2 states (gravitons) are emergent. The basic idea is to extend to gravity model-building the applications of holographic duality to phenomenology construction.
متن کاملA generalization of the Chen-Wu duality into quantale-valued setting
With the unit interval [0,1] as the truth value table, Chen and Wupresented the concept of possibility computation over dcpos.Indeed, every possibility computation can be considered as a[0,1]-valued Scott open set on a dcpo. The aim of this paper is tostudy Chen-Wu's duality on quantale-valued setting. For clarity,with a commutative unital quantale $L$ as the truth value table, weintroduce a c...
متن کاملToward a Proof of Montonen-Olive Duality via Multiple M2-branes
We derive 4-dimensional N = 4 U(N) supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory from a 3-dimensional Chern-Simons-matter theory with product gauge group (U(N)). The latter describes M2-branes probing an orbifold where a torus emerges in a scaling limit. It is expected that the SL(2,Z) duality of the 4-dimensional Yang-Mills theory will be shown in M-theory point of view since it is trivially realized as mo...
متن کاملGauge-gravity duality – Super Yang Mills Quantum Mechanics
We describe the conjectured holographic duality between Yang-Mills quantum mechanics and type IIa string theory. This duality allows us to use lattice Monte Carlo simulations to probe the physics of the gravitational theory for example, at low energies it provides a computation of black hole entropy in terms of a sum over microstates of the dual gauge theory. Numerical results are presented of ...
