“…There is also a competing physical process that we described in section 3.2 above: the cyclotron resonance. If we keep B/T 2 small (h 1), then we can trust our hydrodynamic approximation of the location of the cyclotron pole at ω c − iγ, given in (30). In figure 2, we plot the dimensionless γ/T against ρ/T 2 σ 0 for an appropriately small B/T 2 = 1.…”

“…The full action for this abelian truncation can be found for example in ref. [30]. To see which scalar fields remain neutral, it is useful to think of the 35 dimensional representation of SO (8) as the set of symmetric traceless quadratic polynomials in the coordinates on…”

“…We note that in a charged background, our final truncation to the two scalars plus the diagonal Maxwell field is not consistent. We have neglected a quadratic coupling between the neutral scalar fields and fluctuations of a non-diagonal combination of the four U (1) gauge fields of the full M2 brane theory [30]. Specifically, we are throwing away the terms…”

“…From appendix F of [30] one can check that the full action for 3 scalars, 3 pseudoscalars and 4 gauge fields may be consistently truncated for linearised perturbations of the dyonic black hole to one scalar, φ, one pseudoscalar, χ, and one gauge field G:…”

We study momentum relaxation due to dilute, weak impurities in a strongly coupled CFT, a truncation of the M2 brane theory. Using the AdS/CFT correspondence, we compute the relaxation timescale as a function of the background magnetic field B and charge density ρ. The theory admits two different types of impurities. We find that for magnetic impurities, momentum relaxation due to the impurity is suppressed by a background B or ρ. For electric impurities, due to an underlying instability in the theory towards an ordered phase, the inverse relaxation timescale increases dramatically near p B 2 + ρ 2 /σ 2 0 ∼ 21T 2 . We compute the Nernst response for the impure theory, and comment on similarities with recent measurements in superconductors.

“…Rather than presenting the solution and showing that it solves the low energy equations of type II superstring, we will describe some aspects of the art of solution-building. There are many excellent reviews of this area (see, for example, [45,46,47,48,49,50,51,52,53], other general reviews on black holes in string/M theories include [54,55,56]), so we shall be brief. The method of construction of various classical solutions, we will see, will throw light on the microscopic configurations corresponding to these solutions.…”

In this Report we review the microscopic formulation of the five dimensional black hole of type IIB string theory in terms of the D1-D5 brane system. The emphasis here is more on the brane dynamics than on supergravity solutions. We show how the low energy brane dynamics, combined with crucial inputs from AdS/CFT correspondence, leads to a derivation of black hole thermodynamics and the rate of Hawking radiation. Our approach requires a detailed exposition of the gauge theory and conformal field theory of the D1-D5 system. We also discuss some applications of the AdS/CFT correspondence in the context of black hole formation in three dimensions by thermal transition and by collision of point particles.

This is a review article of eleven dimensional supergravity in which we present all necessary calculations, namely the Noether procedure, the equations of motion (without neglecting the fermions), the Killing spinor equation, as well as some simple and less simple supersymmetric solutions to this theory. All calculations are printed in much detail and with explicit comments as to how they were done. Also contained is a simple approach to Clifford algebras to prepare the grounds for the harder calculations in spin space and Fierz identities.
