General Relativity & Quantum Cosmology

In the context of holography applied to condensed matter theory, I will present an analysis of transport properties of p-wave superfluids by means of a gravity dual. Fluctuations modes in the SU(2) Einstein-Yang-Mills theory are considered, and phenomenological implications are derived. Due to the spatial anisotropy of the system, a non-universal shear viscosity is obtained, along with a new coefficient associated to normal stress differences. I will also discuss how the transport phenomena in this model is related to the thermoelectric, flexoelectric and piezoelectric effects (mixing of electric current, heat flux and mechanical stress), which have been observed in some superconductors and crystal liquids.

Condensed Matter

Recent experiments in BEC quantum magnets exhibit a dramatic evolution of the thermal conductivity of these materials in magnetic field. By considering various relaxation mechanisms of bosonic excitations in the vicinity of the BEC quantum-critical point at finite temperature we provide a detailed explanation of several unusual features of the data. We identify the leading impurity-scattering interaction and demonstrate that its renormalization due to quantum fluctuations of the paramagnetic state compensates the related mass renormalization effect. This explains the enigmatic absence of the asymmetry between the two critical points in the low-T thermal conductivity data, while such an asymmetry is prominent in many other physical quantities. The observed characteristic "migration'' of the peak in thermal conductivity away from the transition points as a function of temperature is explained as due to a competition between an increase in the number of heat carriers and an enhancement of their mutual scattering. An important role of the three-boson scattering processes within the ordered phase of these systems is also discussed. Other qualitative and quantitative features of the experiment are clarified and the future directions are sketched.

High Energy Physics

The study of the worldsheet S-matrix for AdS_5×S^5 strings was a key step in the complete determination of the non-pertubrative planar spectrum of anomalous dimensions for N=4 super-Yang-Mills. To go beyond the spectral problem it is important to consider higher-point worldsheet correlation functions and, as is standard in many integrable models, one approach is the study of form factors. We will discuss a set of consistency conditions appropriate to form factors in the light-cone gauge fixed AdS_5×S^5 string theory. We further discuss the form factors in the weakly coupled dual description, verifying that the relevant conditions naturally hold for the one-loop Heisenberg spin-chain.

Dark energy coupled to Standard Model fermions and gauge bosons gives rise to fifth forces and new particles, which are readily accessible to experiments from laboratory to cosmological scales. I will discuss chameleon and symmetron models, whose fifth forces are screened locally through large effective masses and symmetry-restoring phase transitions, respectively. Fifth force experiments such as the Eot-Wash torsion balance will test chameleons with small quantum corrections and gravitation-strength fifth forces, as well as symmetrons with coupling energies just beyond the Standard Model scale. A dark energy coupling to electromagnetism would imply that photons passing through a magnetic field will oscillate into particles of dark energy, a phenomenon studied by afterglow experiments such as CHASE. After constraining dark energy using laboratory experiments, I proceed to astrophysical probes. Particles of a photon-coupled dark energy could be produced in the Sun and detected in magnetic helioscopes such as CAST, while fifth forces may alter the dynamics of variable stars and the growth of large-scale structure.
