Equilibrium Formulae for Transverse Magneto-transport of Strongly Correlated Metals
Assa Auerbach (Department of Physics, Technion, Israel)


In metals, transport coefficients involve non-adiabatic relaxational dynamics which are in general, much harder to compute than equilibrium susceptibilities.
In this talk I present three formulas derived from Kubo formula [1], for DC transport coefficients which can be expressed as sums of equilibrium susceptibilities: (1) The Hall coefficient, (2) A modified Nernst coefficient, and (3) The Thermal Hall coefficient. The formulas are valid for general Hamitlonians and can treat bad metals where Boltzmann theory ceases to be valid. I show new results for the Hall coefficients of the square lattice t-J model, and of lattice bosons near the Mott insulator phases.
