TY  - JOUR
AB - We consider a general class of electrically charged black holes of EinsteinMaxwell-scalartheory that are holographically dual to conformal field theories at finitecharge density which break translation invariance explicitly. We examine the linearisedperturbations about the solutions that are associated with the thermoelectric DC conductivity.We show that there is a decoupled sector at the black hole horizon which must solvegeneralised Stokes equations for a charged fluid. By solving these equations we can obtainthe DC conductivity of the dual field theory. For Q-lattices and one-dimensional latticeswe solve the fluid equations to obtain closed form expressions for the DC conductivity interms of the solution at the black hole horizon. We also determine the leading order DCconductivity for lattices that can be expanded as a perturbative series about translationallyinvariant solutions.
