We present a strange metal, described by a holographic duality, which reproduces the famous linear resistivity of the normal state of the copper oxides, in addition to the linear specific heat. This holographic metal reveals a simple and general mechanism for producing such a resistivity, which requires only quenched disorder and a strongly interacting, locally quantum critical state. The key is the minimal viscosity of the latter: unlike in a Fermi-liquid, the viscosity is very small and therefore is important for the electrical transport. This mechanism produces a resistivity proportional to the electronic entropy.

  1. Holographic Learning from Fermionic Spectra: Application to Strange Metal Phenomenology

    hep-th 2026-07 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    Neural ODEs learn that normalized low-T cuprate PLL spectra are well described by conformal-to-AdS2 black holes with nearly vanishing gauge potential, while thermodynamics remain invisible to the massless probe.

  2. Schwarzian quantum corrections to shear correlators of the near-extremal Reissner-Nordstr\"om-AdS black hole

    hep-th 2025-12 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    Schwarzian quantum fluctuations raise the shear viscosity of near-extremal Reissner-Nordström-AdS4 black holes above s/4π by a positive O(1/(CT)^2) correction and are argued to lift the classical T=0 gapless shear mode.
