v
τc= F.
This gives a frequency (ω) dependent conductivity
σ(ω) =σ0
1− iω τc
where τc ∼ �/(kBT ) is the time between boson collisions.
Also, we have σ(ω → ∞) = σ∞, associated with the den-sity of states for particle-hole creation (the “optical con-ductivity”) in the CFT3.

using the excitations of the superfluid, which are vortices.
