A holographic Model for strongly correlated Fermions

Abstract: I will give a brief outline of the concept of gauge/gravity duality and how it is used to study novel phases of metals, where a physical description via Fermi liquid theory and other prevalent methods breaks down. The main focus will be on my current and recent work on ‘electron star’ models and their potential to capture features of systems with strongly correlated fermions.
