Pinning of longitudinal phonons in holographic spontaneous helices

Abstract We consider the spontaneous breaking of translational symmetry and identify the associated Goldstone mode — a longitudinal phonon — in a holographic model with Bianchi VII helical symmetry. For the first time in holography, we observe the pinning of this mode after introducing a source for...
