Description

Guided by the spirit of effective field theory, we construct homogeneous holographic models to describe strongly correlated phases with broken translational and rotational symmetry. These holographic systems retain background homogeneity, thereby enabling controllable and efficient computations. In this talk, I will introduce how these models capture key features of solids, including collective modes at finite temperatures and nonlinear elastic behavior under finite shear. Particularly, I will show how shear deformation influences the global geometry of the black hole as well as the quantum complexity of the dual system.
