Abstract

We study holographic superconductors in Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet gravity. We consider two particular backgrounds: a dd-dimensional Gauss-Bonnet-AdS black hole and a Gauss-Bonnet-AdS soliton. We discuss in detail the effects that the mass of the scalar field, the Gauss-Bonnet coupling and the dimensionality of the AdS space have on the condensation formation and conductivity. We also study the ratio ωg/Tc\omega_g/T_c for various masses of the scalar field and Gauss-Bonnet couplings.
