Broken Symmetry Effects on Hydrodynamic Transport
Goldstone modes arising from spontaneously broken symmetries can be added to a hydrodynamic description of charge transport to model quantum critical effects in metals from a symmetry point of view. I will discuss the setup and the effects of weak disorder and melting of the ordered state (giving rise to phase fluctuations) on the conductivity.
