Incoherent transport for phases that spontaneously break translations
read the original abstract
We consider phases of matter at finite charge density which spontaneously break spatial translations. Without taking a hydrodynamic limit we identify a boost invariant incoherent current operator. We also derive expressions for the small frequency behaviour of the thermoelectric conductivities generalising those that have been derived in a translationally invariant context. Within holographic constructions we show that the DC conductivity for the incoherent current can be obtained from a solution to a Stokes flow for an auxiliary fluid on the black hole horizon combined with specific thermodynamic quantities associated with the equilibrium black hole solutions.

Linear response beyond hydrodynamic poles
Constructs a derivative expansion for linear response that matches multi-pole correlators while preserving hydrostaticity, then applies it to D3/D5 probe brane charge fluctuations to study quasihydrodynamic transport ...
