Holographic three-point correlators at finite density and temperature

TL;DR

This paper computes three-point functions of scalar operators in a holographic setup at finite density and temperature, revealing non-monotonic behavior when both parameters are present and showing that internal space contributions are unaffected by these parameters.

Contribution

The study introduces new holographic solutions involving internal space isometries and systematically calculates three-point correlators at finite density and temperature, including perturbative and numerical analyses.

Findings

Three-point correlators depend on angular momenta differences.

Correlators are monotonic with single parameter but not with both.

Internal space contributions are independent of temperature and density.

Abstract

We calculate holographically three-point functions of scalar operators with large dimensions at finite density and finite temperature. To achieve this, we construct new solutions that involve two isometries of the deformed internal space. The novel feature of these solutions is that the corresponding two-point function depends not only on the conformal dimension but also on the difference between the two angular momenta. After identifying the dual operators, we systematically calculate three-point correlators as an expansion in powers of the temperature and the chemical potential. Our analytic perturbative results are in agreement with the exact numerical computation. The three point correlator (when the background contains either temperature or density but not both) is always a monotonic function of the temperature or the chemical potential. However, when both parameters are present the three point correlator is no longer a monotonic function. For fixed finite temperature and small values of the chemical potential a minimum of the three-point function appears. Surprisingly, contributions from the internal space do not depend on the chemical potential or the temperature, as long as those are treated as perturbations.
