Dynamically Generated Gap from Holography: Mottness from a Black Hole
read the original abstract
In the fermionic sector of top-down approaches to holographic systems, one generically finds that the fermions are coupled to gravity and gauge fields in a variety of ways, beyond minimal coupling. In this paper, we take one such interaction -- a Pauli, or dipole, interaction -- and study its effects on fermion correlators. We find that this interaction modifies the fermion spectral density in a remarkable way. As we change the strength of the interaction, we find that spectral weight is transferred between bands, and beyond a critical value, a hard gap emerges in the fermion density of states. A possible interpretation of this bulk interaction then is that it drives the dynamical formation of a (Mott) gap, in the absence of continuous symmetry breaking.

Analytical and Numerical Study of Quartic Nonlinear Electrodynamics in Holographic Fermion Systems
An F^4-deformed bulk gauge field raises the chemical potential, lowers T/μ, shifts the Fermi momentum upward, and sharpens the holographic spectral peak without destroying the Fermi surface.

Interaction induced quasi-particle spectrum and the origin of the pinning peak in holography
Holographic models with non-minimal interactions produce new quasi-particle spectra that explain pinning peaks as arising from vortex formation due to interaction-induced anomalous magnetic moments.

Poles-zeros duality in semi-holographic Mott insulators
A semi-holographic model couples a fermion to a holographic composite sector, yielding poles-zeros duality in the Green's function that distinguishes metallic and Mott-insulating phases through choice of quantization.
