14 Holography of a non-fermi liquid ds 2 = 1 dt 2 r 2 r 2d(z 1)/(d ) + r2 /(d ) dr 2 + dx 2 i The r!1limit of the metric of the Einstein-Maxwelldilaton (EMD) theory has the above form with = d 2 +(d 1) z = 1+ d + 8(d(d )+ )2 d 2 (d ) 2.
15 Holography of a non-fermi liquid ds 2 = 1 dt 2 r 2 r 2d(z 1)/(d ) + r2 /(d ) dr 2 + dx 2 i This is the most general metric which is invariant under the scale transformation x i! x i t! z t ds! /d ds. This identifies z as the dynamic critical exponent (z = 1 for relativistic quantum critical points). We will see shortly that is the violation of hyperscaling exponent. We have used reparametrization invariance in r to define it so that it scales as r! (d )/d r. L. Huijse, S. Sachdev, B. Swingle, Physical Review B 85, (2012)
16 Holography of a non-fermi liquid ds 2 = 1 dt 2 r 2 r 2d(z 1)/(d ) + r2 /(d ) dr 2 + dx 2 i At T>0, there is a black-brane at r = r h. The Beckenstein-Hawking entropy of the black-brane is the thermal entropy of the quantum system r = 0. The entropy density, S, is proportional to the area of the horizon, and so S r d h r L. Huijse, S. Sachdev, B. Swingle, Physical Review B 85, (2012)
17 Holography of a non-fermi liquid ds 2 = 1 dt 2 r 2 r 2d(z 1)/(d ) + r2 /(d ) dr 2 + dx 2 i Under rescaling r! (d )/d r, and the temperature T t 1, and so S T (d )/z = T d eff /z where = d d e, the dimension deficit, is now identified as the violation of hyperscaling exponent. r L. Huijse, S. Sachdev, B. Swingle, Physical Review B 85, (2012)
18 Holography of a non-fermi liquid ds 2 = 1 dt 2 r 2 r 2d(z 1)/(d ) + r2 /(d ) dr 2 + dx 2 i The null energy condition (stability condition for gravity) yields a new inequality z 1+ d In d = 2, with = d 1, this implies z 3/2. Sothelower bound is precisely the value obtained from the field theory. N. Ogawa, T. Takayanagi, and T. Ugajin, JHEP 1201, 125 (2012). L. Huijse, S. Sachdev, B. Swingle, Physical Review B 85, (2012)
19 Holography of a non-fermi liquid ds 2 = 1 dt 2 r 2 r 2d(z 1)/(d ) + r2 /(d ) dr 2 + dx 2 i Application of the Ryu-Takayanagi minimal area formula to a dual Einstein-Maxwell-dilaton theory yields 8 < P, for <d 1 S E P ln P, for = d 1. : P /(d 1), for >d 1 The log-violation of area law again prefers the value = d 1. Moreover, the co-e cient of P ln P is (i) independent of the shape of the entangling region just as expected for a circular Fermi surface, and (ii) has the same universal dependence on Q expected from the Luttinger theorem. N. Ogawa, T. Takayanagi, and T. Ugajin, JHEP 1201, 125 (2012). L. Huijse, S. Sachdev, B. Swingle, Physical Review B 85, (2012)
20 Open questions: Holography of a non-fermi liquid Is there any selection principle for the values of and z? What is the physical interpretation of metallic states with 6= d 1? Does the metallic state have a Fermi surface, and what is k F? Are there N 2 Fermi surfaces of quarks with k F 1, or 1 Fermi surface of a baryon with k F N 2? Why is k F not observable as Friedel oscillations in correlators of the density, and other gauge-neutral operators? Answer: need non-perturbative e ects of monopole operators T. Faulkner and N. Iqbal, arxiv: ; S. Sachdev, Phys. Rev. D 86, (2012)

25 R. A. Davison, M. Goykhman, and A. Parnachev, arxiv: Consider the truncation of IIB supergravity on AdS 5 S 5 where two of the three U(1) charges are equal and non-vanishing while the third one is zero (S. S. Gubser and F. D. Rocha, Phys. Rev. D 81, (2010)). In the IR limit, the bulk metric is of the general scaling form, but with = z and z!1: ds 2 = 1 r 2 dt 2 r 6 + dr2 r 2 + dx2 i This metric is conformal to AdS 2 R 3. From our results before, we have the entropy S T and the entanglement entropy S E P. Key di erence from a Landau Fermi liquid are the equality of hydrodynamic and zero sound velocities, and a viscosity = S/(4 )..
26 R. A. Davison, M. Goykhman, and A. Parnachev, arxiv: Claim: all physical properties of the holographic theory can be interpreted in a theory of a Fermi surface of baryons with k F N 2/3, v F N 2/3, and interactions such that the system is precisely at the nematic quantum critical point in d = 3!
