Studying the holographic Fermi surface in the scalar induced anisotropic background

Abstract: Holographic properties of a finite density fermion system have been shown to exhibit many interesting behaviours which can be observed in future. In this paper, we study low energy fermion properties in the framework of the holographic Mott-Insulator system. We study the nature of the Fermi surface and its evolution by tuning two types of dipole couplings in the bulk. We further introduce translational symmetry breaking complex scalar field, which is assumed to couple with the holographic fermions. The symmetry breaking background induced by the scalar field is known as Q-lattice. We calculate the fermion spectral function, which captures the low energy behaviour of the system. By tuning the dipole parameters and the non-normalizable component of the scalar field, we observe interesting phenomena such as spectral weight transfer, Fermi surface smearing, which has already been reported in various real condensed matter experiments.
