Hydrodynamic magneto-transport in holographic charge density wave states

Understand

We employ hydrodynamics and gauge/gravity to study magneto-transport in phases of matter where translations are broken (pseudo-)spontaneously.

• First we provide a hydrodynamic description of systems where translations are broken homogeneously at nonzero lattice pressure and magnetic field.
• This allows us to determine analytic expressions for all the relevant transport coefficients.
• Next we construct holographic models of those phases and determine all the DC conductivities in terms of the dual black hole geometry.
