What's physical meaning of 2-point correlation function in holographic condensed matter?

Background: In AdS/CFT, we can do calculations in AdS spacetime, and get the result in CFT. When we consider RN-AdS black hole/brane, 2-point correlation functions in CFT can be obtained, which are ...

Specific Heat of SYK Model

For the SYK model, One can prove that for $N\to \infty$ the total energy can be written as the derivative of the imaginary time Green's function (see related question): $$\langle H \rangle=\frac{N}{4} ...

AdS/CFT-oriented reviews of experimental techniques?

I am doing a PhD in AdS/CMT. In order to have a better understating of the physics of the systems the correspondence aims to describe, I am looking for accessible reviews or online seminars about the ...

Electrons with disorder & something like AdS/CFT duality

I know that consideration of electrons with disorder can be based on Feynman diagrams with disorder lines. In this approach, only non-crossing diagrams are important and give contribution to self-...

Why can AdS/CFT correspondence be applied to condensed matter systems when their space is not anti-deSitter?

The AdS/CFT correspondence postulates a duality between string theory of gravity and a CFT on an AdS background. This duality is employed in some condensed matter systems. I was wondering why it is ...

Sub-Ads scale resolution of pluperfect tensor network

I am currently reading article "Bidirectional holographic codes and sub-AdS locality". [I] This article presents tensor networks which are built from so called pluperfect tensors. Authors claim that ...

Holography with wave functionals rather than partition functions

Roughly speaking Gubser-Klebanov-Polyakov Witten's (GKPW) prescription in the context of holography tells us partition function of CFT is "equal" to that of the gravity theory in one higher dimension $...

Resources for entanglement entropy in condensed matter systems and black hole thermodynamics

Over the last month or so, I have set it upon myself to teach myself the AdS/CFT correspondence. In particular, I am interested in the connection between black hole entropy and entanglement entropy in ...

How much can AdS/CMT tell us?

I will begin my research on AdS/CMT, however I find AdS/CMT is only a phenomelogical method, so I want to know can AdS/CMT give some results the condensed matter physicists can not give, or even ...

Condensed matter application of AdS/CFT

I'm going to be teaching a course on gauge/gravity duality (aka AdS/CFT) in the winter. The focus will be on applications in particle theory including $N=4$ SYM, the viscosity/entropy bound, and ...
