Incoherent thermal transport from dirty black holes
read the original abstract
We study thermal transport in strongly disordered, strongly interacting quantum field theories without quasiparticles using gauge-gravity duality. We analyze linear perturbations of black holes with broken translational symmetry in Einstein-Maxwell-dilaton theories of gravity. Using general geometric arguments in the bulk, we derive bounds on thermal conductivity for the dual disordered field theories in one and two spatial dimensions. In the latter case, the thermal conductivity is always non-zero at finite temperature, so long as the dilaton potential is bounded from below. Hence, generic holographic models make non-trivial predictions about the thermal conductivity in a strongly disordered, strongly coupled metal in two spatial dimensions.

Disordered Charged Horizons
Fully backreacted disordered charged black branes show disorder survives in the infrared of AdS4, producing residual resistivity, but decays in AdS3, indicating a Harris-criterion violation in strongly coupled systems.

Quantum critical theories in a periodic potential: strange metallic thermoelectric and magnetotransport
Holographic models of quantum critical 2D systems with zero-average periodic potentials show better conductivity, bad-metal electrical but Drude-like thermal transport, and approximately B-linear magnetoresistance.
