It has been shown that a gravitational dual to a superconductor can be obtained by coupling anti-de Sitter gravity to a Maxwell field and charged scalar. We review our earlier analysis of this theory and extend it in two directions. First,…
These notes are loosely based on lectures given at the CERN Winter School on Supergravity, Strings and Gauge theories, February 2009 and at the IPM String School in Tehran, April 2009. I have focused on a few concrete topics and also on…
We study a non-minimal holographic superconductors model in both non-backreaction and fullbackreaction cases using an analytic method. We calculate the condensate of the dilaton and the critical temperature of the phase transition. We also…
