Holographic anyonic superfluidity

Regular Seminar Matthew Lippert (Amsterdam U.)

at:
14:00 QMW
room FB 2.41
abstract:

This talk will be about an unusual type of superfluid, one made up of anyons. I will discuss anyons, their relation to the quantum Hall effect, and how an anyonic superfluid is unlike a typical superfluid. Then I will describe a holographic model of a strongly-coupled anyonic superfluid and the stability of its supercurrents.
