We investigate and classify Fermi surface behavior for a set of fermionic modes in a family of backgrounds holographically dual to N=4 Super-Yang-Mills theory at zero temperature with two distinct chemical potentials. We numerically solve fluctuation equations for every spin-1/2 field in five-dimensional maximally supersymmetric gauged supergravity not mixing with gravitini. Different modes manifest two, one or zero Fermi surface singularities, all associated to non-Fermi liquids, and we calculate dispersion relations and widths of excitations. We study two limits where the zero-temperature entropy vanishes. In one limit, a Fermi surface approaches a marginal Fermi liquid, which we demonstrate analytically, and conductivity calculations show a hard gap with the current dual to the active gauge field superconducting, while the other is insulating. In the other limit, conductivities reveal a soft gap with the roles of the gauge fields reversed.

  1. Holographic thermal correlators from recursions

    hep-th 2024-12 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Holographic thermal correlators and quasinormal modes for two charged AdS5 black holes are expressed through a recurrence-based connection formula for the Heun equation, validated to high numerical precision.

  2. The spectral gap of the ABJM model: A holographic perspective from uplifted higher-dimensional geometries

    hep-th 2026-08 reject novelty 5.0 of 10

    The paper claims a spectral gap in the ABJM dual of a 4d four-charge black brane arising from non-commuting limits, and reports an AdS3/BTZ sector after uplift, but the promised Green's function analysis is absent.

  3. Comparative study of the butterfly velocity in holographic QCD models at finite temperature and chemical potential

    hep-th 2025-05 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    Using three independent holographic methods, the authors obtain matching butterfly velocities for four QCD-like models and find a universal increase with temperature and decrease with chemical potential.

  4. Spectral weight in holography with momentum relaxation

    hep-th 2019-08 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    In holographic superfluids with axion-induced momentum relaxation, the finite-momentum instability is strengthened and low-energy spectral weight, including Fermi shells, is suppressed.
