Emergent gauge fields in holographic strange metals*

Using gauge/gravity duality, strange metallic phases with non-trivial temperature scalings of eg the resistivity are obtained from black hole spacetimes with an emergent critical infrared geometry. In this talk, I will argue that they are described by an effective field theory of gapless bosonic fields coupled to emergent, non-local gauge fields. I will comment on the relation to the Luttinger theorem and the presence of fractionalized charged degrees of freedom.
