The last few years have seen an explosion of interest in hydrodynamic effects in interacting
electron systems in ultra-pure materials. One such material, graphene, is not only an …

These notes are loosely based on lectures given at the CERN Winter School on
Supergravity, Strings and Gauge theories, February 2009, and at the IPM String School in …

I review two classes of strong coupling problems in condensed matter physics, and describe
insights gained by application of the AdS/CFT correspondence. The first class concerns non …

Viscous phenomena are the hallmark of the hydrodynamic flow exhibited by Dirac fermions
in clean graphene at high enough temperatures. We report a quantitative calculation of the …

Monoclinic VO2 (M) is a prototype material for interpreting correlation effects in solids with
fully reversible phase transition between VO2 (M) and VO2 (R). Although VO2 (M) is the …

In nearly compensated graphene, disorder-assisted electron-phonon scattering or
“supercollisions” are responsible for both quasiparticle recombination and energy …

We compute direct current thermoelectric transport coefficients in strongly coupled quantum
field theories without long lived quasiparticles, at finite temperature and charge density, and …

A bstract In this note we study the effects of a magnetic field on transport using holographic
models with broken translational invariance. We show that, after carefully sub-tracting off …

We study charge transport of quantum critical points described by conformal field theories in
2+ 1 space-time dimensions. The transport is described by an effective field theory on an …

We discuss the universal-transport signatures near a zero-temperature continuous Mott
transition between a Fermi liquid and a quantum spin liquid in two spatial dimensions. The …
