Holographic Quantum Matter
by S. A. Hartnoll, A. Lucas, S. Sachdev
Publisher: arXiv.org 2018
Number of pages: 178
Description:
We present a review of theories of states of quantum matter without quasiparticle excitations. Solvable examples of such states are provided through a holographic duality with gravitational theories in an emergent spatial dimension. We review the duality between gravitational backgrounds and the various states of quantum matter which live on the boundary.

The angular momentum controversy: What's it all about and does it matter?by E. Leader, C. Lorce - arXiv
The general question, crucial to the internal structure of nucleon, of how to split the total angular momentum of a photon or gluon into spin and orbital contributions is one of the most important and interesting challenges faced by gauge theories.
