Generalized Lifshitz-Kosevich scaling at quantum criticality from the holographic correspondence — mentioned by dzdt

I think it is bad journalism, intended to boggle not enlighten. The paper mentioned is http://arxiv.org/pdf/0912.0008, and does not itself make mention of black holes. Presumably the "higher-dimensional" aspect is coming from Hartnoll and Hofman's "large number of degrees of freedom" analysis. I don't know anything about this area to guess whether there is really a black hole analogy. But I am confident it isn't a useful analogy to make anything more clear!
