In this work we analyze the hydrodynamics of a $p-$ wave superfluid on its strongly coupled regime by considering its holographic description. We obtain the poles of the retarded Green function through the computation of the quasi-normal…
Symmetry-protected topological (SPT) phases exhibit nontrivial order if symmetry is respected but are adiabatically connected to the trivial product phase if symmetry is not respected. However, unlike the symmetry-breaking phase, there is…
Fluids in which both time-reversal and parity are broken can display a dissipationless viscosity that is odd under each of these symmetries. Here, we show how this odd viscosity has a dramatic effect on topological sound waves in fluids,…
In this paper we investigate the low energy shear modes in fluid systems with spontaneously broken translations by a specific holographic model. In absence of momentum relaxation, we find that there exist two decoupled gapless modes in the…
We study the quasinormal modes of a holographic model of a Weyl semimetal. The model features quantum phase transition between a topological phase and a trivial phase. We put particular emphasis on the hydrodynamic modes and show that a…
Topological techniques are used to study the motions of systems of point vortices in the infinite plane, in singly-periodic arrays, and in doubly-periodic lattices. The reduction of each system using its symmetries is described in detail.…
We use a macroscopic description of a system of relativistic particles based on adding a nonequilibrium tensor to the usual hydrodynamic variables. The nonequilibrium tensor is linked to relativistic kinetic theory through a nonlinear…
The notion of topological phases extended to dynamical systems stimulates extensive studies, of which the characterization of non-equilibrium topological invariants is a central issue and usually necessitates the information of quantum…
Non-equilibrium Green's functions provide an efficient way to describe the evolution of the energy-momentum tensor during the early time pre-equilibrium stage of high-energy heavy ion collisions. Besides their practical relevance they also…
The energy--momentum tensor and the tensor continuity equation serve as the conservation laws of energy, linear momentum, and angular momentum for a continuous flow. Previously, we derived equations of motion for macroscopic electromagnetic…
We review recent developments in holographic hydrodynamics. We start from very basic discussion on hydrodynamic systems and motivate why string theory is an essential tool to deal with these systems when they are strongly coupled. The main…
It was recently discovered that plasma waves possess topologically protected edge modes, indicating the existence of topologically nontrivial structures in the governing equations. Here we give a rigorous study of the underlying topological…
We study the entropy of chiral 2+1-dimensional topological phases, where there are both gapped bulk excitations and gapless edge modes. We show how the entanglement entropy of both types of excitations can be encoded in a single partition…
Defects which appear in heterostructure junctions involving topological insulators are sources of gapless modes governing the low energy properties of the systems, as recently elucidated by Teo and Kane [Physical Review B82, 115120 (2010)].…
We study the behavior of fermion spectral functions for the holographic topological Weyl and nodal line semimetals. We calculate the topological invariants from the Green functions of both holographic semimetals using the topological…
We represent a new approach to exploring the thermodynamic topology of black holes, without introducing the nonphysical variable $\Theta\in[0,\pi]$ considered in previous studies, where black holes can exchange both energy and matter with…
In this paper we report that notions of topological protection can be applied to stationary configurations that are driven far from equilibrium by active, dissipative processes. We show this for physically two disparate cases : stochastic…
In this work, we discuss the long-time behavior of non-rotating quasi-2D viscous flows over topographies. We develop a novel theoretical and numerical framework for the analysis of these flows, derived as a dimensional reduction of the 3D…
Insulating materials with dynamical spin degrees of freedom have recently emerged as viable conduits for spin flows. Transport phenomena harbored therein are, however, turning out to be much richer than initially envisioned. In particular,…
Time is the odd dimension out: Unlike space, it follows the arrow of time, forbidding back-reflections and requiring momentum yet not energy conservation. Tailored temporal variations manipulate momentum bands and engineer waves in time. We…
