One very naive question regd. paper “Zero Sound from Holography” (third from bottom twitter update)–

The authors say that in their system, the specific heat goes like T^{2p} at low T in p spatial dimensions. This supposedly is the specific heat contribution from all the low energy modes in the system, whatever they may be. Now, at the same time they find a bosonic mode (zero sound) whose contribution to specific heat should separately be T^{p} , or not?? Then at low T why doesn’t the latter contribution dominate?

Hi Taru,

Density dependent part of specific heat is proportional T^{2p}, while density independent part – to T^{p}.

Cheers,
Dmitry.
