We provide an analytical derivation of the thermoelectric transport coefficients of the simplest momentum-dissipating model in gauge/gravity where the lack of momentum conservation is realized by means of explicit graviton mass in the bulk. We rely on the procedure recently described by Donos and Gauntlett for holographic models where momentum dissipation is realized through nontrivial scalars. The analytical approach confirms and supports the results found previously by means of numerical computations and the associated holographic renormalization procedure. Importantly, it also provides a precise identification of the range of validity of the hydrodynamic approximation.

Abstract
We provide an analytical derivation of the thermoelectric transport coefficients of the simplest momentum-dissipating model in gauge/gravity where the lack of momentum conservation is realized by means of explicit graviton mass in the bulk. We rely on the procedure recently described by Donos and Gauntlett for holographic models where momentum dissipation is realized through nontrivial scalars. The analytical approach confirms and supports the results found previously by means of numerical computations and the associated holographic renormalization procedure. Importantly, it also provides a precise identification of the range of validity of the hydrodynamic approximation.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
