Abstract

In this article, we investigate the mathematical relationship between a (3+1) dimensional gravity model inside Anti-de Sitter space AdS4\rm AdS_4, and a (2+1) dimensional superconducting system on the asymptotically flat boundary of AdS4\rm AdS_4 (in the absence of gravity). We consider a simple case of the Type II superconducting model (in terms of Ginzburg-Landau theory) with an external perpendicular magnetic field H{\bf H}. An interaction potential V(r,ψ)=α(T)ψ2/r2+χψ2/L2+βψ4/(2rk)V(r,\psi) = \alpha(T)|\psi|^2/r^2+\chi|\psi|^2/L^2+\beta|\psi|^4/(2 r^k ) is introduced within the Lagrangian system. This provides more flexibility within the model, when the superconducting system is close to the transition temperature TcT_c. Overall, our result demonstrates that the two Ginzburg-Landau differential equations can be directly deduced from Einstein's theory of general relativity.
