Emergence of quantum criticality in the IR

Abstract

We construct holographic superfluid flow solutions in a five-dimensional theory that arises as a consistent truncation of low energy type IIB string theory. We then study the phase diagram of these systems in terms of the temperature and superfluid velocity. Finally, we construct solutions representing the ground state of these superfluids for velocities below a critical value. These are charged anisotropic AdS domain walls that demonstrate the emergence of quantum criticality in the IR.
