Abstract

We use the holographic approach to compare the Hall viscosity ηH\eta_H and the angular momentum density J{\cal J} in gapless systems in 2+12+1 dimensions at finite temperature. We start with a conformal fixed point and turn on a perturbation which breaks the parity and time reversal symmetries via gauge and gravitational Chern-Simons couplings in the bulk. While the ratio of ηH\eta_H and J{\cal J} shows some universal properties when the perturbation is slightly relevant, we find that the two quantities behave differently in general. In particular, ηH\eta_H depends only on infrared physics, while J{\cal J} receives contributions from degrees of freedom at all scales.
