Summary

This summary is machine-generated.

We introduce holographic massive gravity models that describe spontaneous symmetry breaking, revealing transverse phonon modes linked to elasticity theory. These models offer a versatile framework for understanding various symmetry-breaking types and predict a glasslike melting transition in shear modulus.

Background:

Translational symmetry breaking is fundamental in condensed matter and gravitational systems.
Massive gravity theories provide a framework to study modifications to Einstein's theory of general relativity.
Understanding the relationship between microscopic properties and macroscopic behavior is a key challenge.

Purpose of the Study:

To present a class of holographic massive gravity models exhibiting spontaneous translational symmetry breaking.
To investigate the emergence of transverse phonon modes and their connection to elasticity theory.
To explore the application of these models in understanding material properties like shear modulus and melting transitions.

Main Methods:

Development of holographic massive gravity models.
Analysis of spontaneous translational symmetry breaking within these models.
Computation of the temperature dependence of the shear modulus.

Main Results:

Demonstration of spontaneous translational symmetry breaking in holographic massive gravity.
Identification of transverse phonon modes whose speed relates to the elastic shear modulus.
Observation of a glasslike melting transition in the temperature dependence of the shear modulus.

Conclusions:

Holographic massive gravity models are versatile for describing explicit and spontaneous translational symmetry breaking.
The radial dependence of graviton mass encodes the nature of symmetry breaking.
These models provide insights into material phase transitions, such as glasslike melting.
