Abstract

We investigate the holographic fermionic phase transition induced by the effective impurity in holography, which is introduced by massless scalar fields in Einstein-Maxwell-massless scalar gravity. We obtain a phase diagram in $(\alpha, T)$ plane separating the Fermi liquid phase and the non-Fermi liquid phase.

Summary

Background geometry with scalar field sources

We combine the action of free massless scalars together with the Einstein-Maxwell action in d + 1 dimension [31],. The equations of motions admit the following isotropic solution of various fields. We can see that due to the presence of the spatial dependence in the massless scalar field, the full solution is not isotropic and homogeneous, though the metric is isotropic. Note that the anisotropic solutions with only one scalar field has been studied in [40, 41]. Note that when α = 0, the solution goes back to the RN-AdS black hole dual to the field theory with translational invariance. For a given chemical potential and temperature, we can determine the value of α. This model can be seen as the case of the long wavelength limit of Q-lattice model [26]. It is more reasonable to treat α as impurity, as illustrated in [31, 36]
