Black holes in asymptotically Lifshitz spacetime provide a window onto finite temperature effects in strongly coupled Lifshitz models. We add a Maxwell gauge field and charged matter to a recently proposed gravity dual of 2+1 dimensional…
The full description of a superconductor requires that it has an infinite DC conductivity (or zero electrical resistivity) as well as expels the external magnetic fields. Thus, for any holographic superconductor which is dual to a real…

We study holographic superconductors in a Ho\v{r}ava-Lifshitz black hole without the condition of the detailed balance. We show that it is easier for the scalar hair to form as the parameter of the detailed balance becomes larger, but…
