Let v 0 be the volume of the unit cell of the ground state, n T be the total number density of electrons per volume v 0. (need not be an integer) Then, in a metallic Fermi liquid state with a sharp electron-like Fermi surface:

In the spin liquid, momentum associated with n f =1 electron is absorbed by creation of vison. The remaining momentum is absorbed by Fermi surface quasiparticles, which enclose a volume associated with n c electrons.

31 Focus on a single S f spin, and represent its imaginary time fluctuations by a unit vector S f = n (τ)/2 which is controlled by the partition function Z = Dn (τ) δ(n 2 (τ) 1) exp ( S) S = i du 1/T 0 dτ n n u n τ 1/T 0 dτ h(τ) n (τ) The first term is a Wess-Zumino term, with the extra dimension u defined so that n (τ,u = 1) n (τ) and n (τ,u = 0) = (0, 0, 1). The field h(τ) represents the environment which has to be determined self-consistently.

38 Begin with a CFT3 e.g. the ABJM theory with a SO(8) global symmetry Add some SO(8) charge by turning on a chemical potential (this will break the SO(8) symmetry) The CFT3 is dual to a gravity theory on AdS4 x S 7 In the Einstein-Maxwell theory, the chemical potential leads to an extremal Reissner-Nordtrom black hole in the AdS4 spacetime. The near-horizon geometry of the RN black hole is AdS2 x R 2. The interpretation of the AdS2 theory, the R 2 degeneracy, the finite ground state entropy density have remained unclear.

41 What is the meaning of AdS 2 R 2? The AdS 2 represents the dynamics of a quantum spin with partition function Z = Dn (τ) exp( S) S = S Wess Zumino [n (τ,u)] 1/T 0 dτ h(τ) n (τ) The environment field h(τ) represents the dynamics of the CFT3. The fixed point theory of Z is analogous to a critical Kondo fixed point, and has a finite boundary entropy. The spin carries a global SO(8) charge. The R 2 represents a finite density of such spins. In the classical gravity theory, these spins do not interact with each other: this leads to the R 2 degeneracy and the finite ground state entropy density. S. Sachdev, arxiv:

49 Conclusions There is a close correspondence between the theory of holographic metals, and the fractionalized Fermi liquid phase of the Anderson/Kondo lattice. The correspondence suggests that the ground state of AdS4 (or AdS5) CFTs at non-zero R-charge chemical potential is a Kondo lattice of spins carrying the R-charge.
