SUMMARY:Universal Diffusion and the Butterfly Effect - Mike Blake\, DAMTP
DTSTART:20160428T120000Z
DTEND:20160428T130000Z
UID:TALK64420@talks.cam.ac.uk
CONTACT:Nima Doroud
DESCRIPTION:One of the great mysteries about strongly correlated materials
  is that their transport properties seem to be universal. For instance\, a
  linear resistivity is ubiquitious to many materials whose microscopic phy
 sics and scattering mechanisms can vary immensely. In this talk I will dis
 cuss how universality can arise in the diffusion constants of holographic 
 theories. In particular I will show that in many holographic theories diff
 usion is universally related to the so-called `butterfly effect'. This wor
 k suggests a potential new connection between transport at strong coupling
  and the field of quantum chaos.
