Introduction
Gravity view
Black holes have thermodynamics.Free energy = Euclidean on-shell action
Bekenstein, Bardeen+Carter+Hawking (1973)Gibbons+Hawking (1977)
Add different matter to gravity ⇒ get all kinds of BH
There are black holeswhose free energy F (T ) mimics quantum critical points
whose free energy F (T ) mimics the quark-gluon plasma
whose free energy F (T ) shows superfluid phase transition

Quantum critical transport
Why focus on transport?
Thermodynamic properties in lattice spin models can becomputed by MC simulations
Static critical exponents can be computed by MC simulationsor in ε-expansion
Focus on what’s hard for numerical simulations
Weak coupling, large N vector ⇒ can use kinetic equation
Strong coupling + real time + finite T ⇒ need new tools

Quantum critical transport
Comment on QC transport in 1+1 dim
Need correlators in 1+1 dim CFT at T > 0 and in real time
In 1+1, can deduce physics at T > 0 from physics at T = 0.This is because the map R2 → R×S1 is a conformal map.

Quantum critical transport
AdS/CFT approach
Calculate first, think later:
AdS/CFT likes strongly interacting CFT’sso let’s study transport phenomena in strongly interacting CFTsand hope to learn lessons about QC points in real materials
Look for QCP:
presumably there are infinitely more interacting CFTs incondensed matter physics than in high-energy physics
Dimension is important:
non-SUSY CFTs are hard to come by in 3+1 dimensions
Interesting dimension for QC transport is 2+1

All right.
Suppose we find the superfluid phase of Schrodinger BH
I’d still like somebody to explain to meTo what extent do these theories resemble anything in the realworld (beyond symmetries)?
What exactly is the quantum field theory which is dual to theseSchrodinger BH? Can one do weak coupling calculations there?
Can AdS/CFT be used to study Schrodinger CFTs which are notlight cone reduction of relativistic CFTs?
