Mathematics and Physics of the Holographic Principle

Co-authors: Darren Smyth (UBC), Evgeny Sorkin (UBC), Jared Stang (UBC)

I discuss the formation of inhomogeneous order in the Einstein-Maxwell-axion system, dual to a 2+1 dimensional field theory that exhibits a spontaneously generated current density, momentum density and modulated scalar operator. Below the critical temperature, the Reissner-Nordstrom-AdS black hole becomes unstable and stripes form in the bulk and on the boundary. The bulk geometry possesses striking geometrical features, including a modulated horizon that tends to pinch off as T goes to 0. The phase transition to the formation of stripes is of second order.
