35 d-wave superconductivity in cuprates Now consider a discrete spontaneous symmetry breaking, with Ising symmetry, described by a real scalar field φ. Two cases of experimental interest are: Time-reversal symmetry breaking: leads to a d x2 y 2 + id xy superconductor, in which the Dirac fermions are massive Break 4-fold lattice rotation symmetry to 2-fold lattice rotations: leads to a superconductor with nematic order. We can write down the usual φ 4 theory for the scalar field: S 0 φ = [ d 2 1 xdτ 2 ( τ φ) 2 + c2 2 ( φ)2 + r 2 φ2 + u 0 24 φ4] ; [ ( )]

80 Free energy from gravity theory The free energy is expressed as a sum over the quasinormal frequencies, z l, of the black hole. Here l represents any set of quantum numbers: F boson = T l F fermion = T l ln ln ( ( z l 2πT Γ ( izl 2πT ( ) ) Γ izl 2 2πT ) ) 2 Application of this formula shows that the fermions exhibit the dhva quantum oscillations with expected period (2π/(Fermi surface ares)) in 1/B, but with an amplitude corrected from the Fermi liquid formula of Lifshitz- Kosevich.
