Thermal diffusivity and chaos in metals without quasiparticles

We study the thermal diffusivity D[subscript T] in models of metals without quasiparticle excitations (“strange metals”). The many-body quantum chaos and transport properties of such metals can be efficiently described by a holographic representation in a gravitational theory in an emergent curved s...
