We construct effective field theory for SU(2) isospin charge diffusion, based on holographic Schwinger-Keldysh contour [1]. The holographic model consists of a probe SU(2) gauge field in a doubled Schwarzschild-AdS5 geometry. Accurate to first order in derivative expansion, we analytically compute the effective action up to quartic order in dynamical variables. The effective theory contains both non-Gaussianity for noises and nonlinear interactions between noises and dynamical variables. Moreover, the effective theory captures both thermal and quantum fluctuations, which perfectly satisfy dynamical Kubo-Martin-Schwinger (KMS) symmetry at quantum level. Interestingly, the dynamical KMS symmetry, which is crucial in formulating non-equilibrium effective field theory for a quantum many-body system, is found to have a nice holographic interpretation.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
