Homogeneous holographic viscoelastic models and quasicrystals

We show that the field theories dual to the homogeneous holographic models with spontaneously broken translations display several distinctive properties of quasicrystals, aperiodic crystals with long-range order (e.g., incommensurate charge density waves). This interpretation suggests that the longi...
