Holographic zero sound for N=2 SCFTs in 4d

We build up the notion of metallic holography for N=2 SCFTs in four dimensions, in the presence of a finite U(1) chemical potential. We compute two point correlation functions and study their properties in the regime of low frequency and low momentum. The color sector reveals gapless excitations, on...

description We build up the notion of metallic holography for N=2 SCFTs in four dimensions, in the presence of a finite U(1) chemical potential. We compute two point correlation functions and study their properties in the regime of low frequency and low momentum. The color sector reveals gapless excitations, one of which propagates with a finite phase velocity while the other mode attenuates through scattering. The flavour sector, on the other hand, reveals spectrum that contains quasiparticle excitations which propagate with a definite phase velocity together with modes that propagate with a finite group velocity which quantum attenuates quite similar in spirit as that of Landau's zero sound modes. We also compute associated AC conductivities, which exhibit different characteristics for different (color and flavour) sectors of N=2 SCFTs.
