We show that the pole-strength of the stable quasiparticle characterizing the Fermi surface is encoded in the spatially averaged AdS probability density of a single normalizable fermion wavefunction in AdS. Recalling Migdal's theorem which relates the pole strength to the Fermi-Dirac characteristic discontinuity in the number density at $\\ome_F$, we conclude that the AdS dual of a Fermi liquid is described by occupied on-shell fermionic modes in AdS. Encoding the occupied levels in the total probability density of the fermion field directly, we show that an AdS Reissner-Nordstr\\\"{o}m black hole in a theory with charged fermions has a critical temperature, at which the system undergoes a first-order transition to a black hole with a non-vanishing profile for the bulk fermion field. Thermodynamics and spectral analysis confirm that the solution with non-zero AdS fermion-profile is the preferred ground state at low temperatures.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v3", "updated": "2011-07-28T16:36:11.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "ads black holes", "ads dual", "dirac hair", "averaged ads probability density", "coupled charged fermi liquid" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "doi": "10.1007/JHEP10(2011)017", "journal": "Journal of High Energy Physics", "year": 2011, "month": "Oct", "volume": 2011, "pages": 17 }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 26, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "inspire": 882824, "adsabs": "2011JHEP...10..017C" } } }
