SUMMARY:Landau Levels and Holography - Mike Blake (DAMTP)
DTSTART:20130228T130000Z
DTEND:20130228T140000Z
UID:TALK43746@talks.cam.ac.uk
CONTACT:Dr Dorigoni
DESCRIPTION:One of the outstanding problems facing applied holography is t
 he development of a complete understanding of how the traditional Fermi su
 rfaces of condensed matter physics are realized in the bulk. Whilst the ge
 neral problem is very hard\, in this talk I shall describe a regime in whi
 ch progress can be made. In the presence of a strong magnetic field the dy
 namics of fermions undergoes a dimensional reduction and we are able to us
 e Coleman's classic technique of bosonization. This allows us to obtain a 
 description of the Landau level physics of the boundary theory in terms of
  a `star' of gravitating sine-Gordon kinks in the bulk.
