String Theory seminar - Mike Blake Seminar

In this talk I will explain how to use the Fluid/Gravity correspondence to provide a hydrodynamical description of a holographic theory with broken translation invariance. Beyond leading order in the strength of momentum relaxation, the results differ from a model previously proposed by Hartnoll et al. As an application of these techniques, I will derive the low frequency thermoelectric transport coefficients of the holographic theory from the linearised hydrodynamics. Finally, I will discuss the DC limit of our hydrodynamics in detail, and show that our approach is equivalent to the `horizon-fluid' of Donos and Gauntlett.
