Holographic models : constraints and constructions
Abstract/Contents
- Abstract
- Holographic correspondences provide models of strongly correlated systems whose thermodynamic and transport properties are computationally tractable. In this thesis we first provide a class of seemingly innocuous bottom-up holographic models which are argued to be inconsistent, violating microcausality. With such cautionary cases in mind, we go on to construct a variety of consistent top-down holographic models. In particular, we engineer holographic lattices, dimers, and dimer-glasses, using ingredients in type IIB string theory. Finally, we set up disordered holographic systems and develop technology which enables us to study renormalization group flows and thermodynamic properties in these strongly correlated systems with randomness.
