Holographic Superconductors with Various Condensates

High Energy Physics - Theory 2009-01-01 v2

Abstract

We extend earlier treatments of holographic superconductors by studying cases where operators of different dimension condense in both 2+1 and 3+1 superconductors. We also compute a correlation length. We find surprising regularities in quantities such as ωg/Tc\omega_g/T_c where ωg\omega_g is the gap in the frequency dependent conductivity. In special cases, new bound states arise corresponding to vector normal modes of the dual near-extremal black holes.
