Numerically Calculating Dispersion Relations of a 2+1 Dimensional, Strongly Coupled, Non-relativistic Fluid Using Holographic Principles

Markus Garbiso (University of Alabama)

From a purely quantum field theoretic standpoint finding the non-hydrodynamic, non-relativistic behavior of strongly coupled fluids is difficult since couplings run at lower energies. With the advent of the AdS/CFT correspondence, one may find the hydrodynamic and non-hydrodynamic behavior of such fluids in the non-relativistic regimes (including the relativistic regime). In my talk we will introduce non-relativistic holography (with the weak form of the non-relativistic version of the AdS/CFT correspondence), walk through the calculation of the fluid's quasinormal modes, and present distinct differences of behaviors between the non-relativistic and analogous relativistic fluid. Several key differences are due to the presence of the khronon field, introducing new degrees of freedom and allowing for arbitrarily speed of propagation of gravitons, allowing for gravitons of different spin to propagate at different speeds.
