Abstract

We show for unit dynamical exponent, z=1z=1, the appearance of the Fermi liquid and non-Fermi liquid behavior as we tune the charge density and the magnetic field in 3+1 dimensional field theory using the gauge-gravity duality. There exists an upturn behavior of the resistivity only along the direction perpendicular to the magnetic field. Also, there exists a universal behavior of the resistivity, independent of the dimensionality of the spacetime, in a specific corner of the parameter space, namely, in the large charge density and small magnetic field limit: the longitudinal conductivity goes as T2/zT^{-2/z}, whereas the Hall conductivity goes as T4/zT^{-4/z}. It means the Hall coefficient goes as T4/zT^{4/z}. We compute the diffusion constant from the flow equation of the conductivity.
