Introduction: Why lattices?

动机与研究方案：
能带论是固体理论电子运动的一个理论基础，而采用具有晶格周期性的
势场是得到能带的前提条件。在引力/凝聚态对偶中，引入周期性势场将为
理论与实验的衔接起到至关重要的作用。

• 全息电导率中的一个普遍问题（现象）：
长波极限下，电导率虚部趋于无穷，（由Kramers-Kronig关系）意味着实部
在直流处始终存在一个delta函数。这与金属常温下的实际电导率不符。

Crucial technical issues in AdS/CMT with lattices：
1、Numerically solve the background equations with appropriate boundary
and gauge conditions;
2、Numerically solve the perturbation equations over the background.

Boundary conditions：
1、Conformal symmetry at infinity (z=0):
Qtt ( x,0)  Qzz ( x,0)  Qxx ( x,0)  Qyy ( x,0)  1
Qxz ( x, z )  0,  ( x,0)  1 ( x),
 ( x, z )   ( 1 )
Remark: Such an assignment must be consistent with the asymptotic
behavior of the EOM!
2、Regular conditions on horizon (z=1):
Qij ( x, z )  Qij0 ( x)  (1  z )Qij1 ( x)  (1  z ) 2 Qij2 ( x)  ...
 ( x, z )   0 ( x)  (1  z ) 1 ( x)  (1  z) 2  2 ( x)  ...
Qtt ( x,1)  Qzz ( x,1)
 ( x, z )   0 ( x)  (1  z ) 1 ( x)  (1  z ) 2 2 ( x)  ...
Remark: To me it is not clear yet if such a regular condition will definitely
lead to a unique solution!
