Holographic superfluids/superconductors are one of the most studied systems in the AdS/CFT duality. In the low-energy, in the long-wavelength limit, they should be described by a Ginzburg-Landau theory. For critical dynamics, one expects…

The general Ginzburg-Landau formulation of a holographic superconductor is developed near the transition temperature in the probe limit for two kinds of conformal dimension. Below the transition temperature, $T<T_c$, the order-parameter…

Gravity duals for little string theories --- which give rise to four-dimensional theories that undergo permanent confinement in the infrared --- have not been studied in great detail. We address this question in the framework of heterotic…
