Description

In my talk, I will discuss various topics that will revolve around the subject of hydrodynamics. The first part of the talk will begin with a general discussion of hydrodynamics, its breakdown at weak coupling and the connection between hydrodynamics and many-body chaos. In particular, I will argue that at strong coupling, the holographic butterfly effect can be understood in terms of a hydrodynamic sound mode instability. In the second part of the talk, I will discuss a recent reformulation of magnetohydrodynamics and a construction of its holographic dual by using the concept of generalised global symmetries.
