Quantum phase transitions in semilocal quantum liquids

We consider several types of quantum critical phenomena from finite-density gauge-gravity duality which to different degrees lie outside the Landau-Ginsburg-Wilson paradigm. These include: (i) a “bifurcating” critical point, for which the order parameter remains gapped at the critical point, and thu...
