Abstract

We reexamine the charged AdS domain wall solution to the Einstein-Abelian-Higgs model proposed by Gubser et al as holographic superconductors at quantum critical points and comment on their statement about the uniqueness of gravity solutions. We generalize their explorations from 3+1 dimensions to arbitrary n+1n+1Ds and find that the n+15n+1\geqslant5D charged AdS domain walls are unstable against electric perturbations.
