Hydrodynamics and gauge/gravity duality for electrons in solids (C09)

• Subject Area: Theoretical Condensed Matter Physics
• Term: since 2017
• Project identifier: Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 258499086

This project is devoted to describing dynamical and topological properties of electron systems by adapting concepts and approaches from high-energy physics and quantum field theory, in particular, generalizations of the AdS/CFT correspondence and the use of hydrodynamics for analyzing electron flows. The central goal is to obtain new predictions for electron flow in strongly correlated systems
