79 Conclusions General theory of transport in a weakly disordered ``vortex liquid state. Relativistic magnetohydrodynamics offers an efficient approach to disentangling momentum and charge transport Exact solutions via black hole mapping have yielded first exact results for transport co-efficients in interacting many-body systems, and were valuable in determining general structure of hydrodynamics. Simple model reproduces many trends of the Nernst measurements in cuprates.
