Topological insulators are new class of materials which are characterized by a bulk band gap like ordinary band insulator but have protected conducting states on their edge or surface. These states emerge out due to the combination of…
We construct the simplest gravitational dual model of a superconductor on Q-lattices. We analyze the condition for the existence of a critical temperature at which the charged scalar field will condense. In contrast to the holographic…
We calculate an AC response of the edge states of a two-dimensional topological insulator, which can exchange electrons with a conducting puddle in the bulk of the insulator. This exchange leads to finite corrections to the response of…
