Hydrodynamics of condensed matter
Abstract/Contents
- Abstract
- Symmetries control the late time physics of classical and quantum systems that thermalize; hydrodynamics is the framework that describes this physics. The first part of this thesis establishes the hydrodynamic description of several archetypal systems of modern condensed matter physics: anomalous metals, Wigner crystals and fractional quantum Hall materials. A hydrodynamic theory describing the elusive bad metallic phase of high temperature superconductors is proposed. The second part of this thesis lays out several developments in the theoretical framework itself. It is shown that the symmetry algebra alone (as opposed to how it is realized) determines the hydrodynamic description of a system. A systematic theory of hydrodynamic fluctuations is presented and used to determine universal corrections to diffusion. Finally, bounds on transport coefficients are derived from microscopic positivity conditions.
