Incoherent conductivity of holographic charge density waves
read the original abstract
The DC resistivity of charge density waves weakly-pinned by disorder is controlled by diffusive, incoherent processes rather than slow momentum relaxation. The corresponding incoherent conductivity can be computed in the limit of zero disorder. We compute this transport coefficient in holographic spatially modulated breaking translations spontaneously. As a by-product of our analysis, we clarify how the boundary heat current is obtained from a conserved bulk current, defined as a suitable generalization of the Iyer-Wald Noether current of the appropriate Killing vector.

On prethermal time crystals from semi-holography
Semi-holographic systems with perturbative and holographic sectors exhibit prethermal time crystals through dissipationless modes in hydrodynamic channels plus short-wavelength instabilities that produce inhomogeneiti...
