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…
We construct supersymmetric domain wall solutions of type IIB supergravity that interpolate between $AdS_5\times T^{1,1}$ in the UV and $AdS_3\times\mathbb{R}^2\times S^2\times S^3$ solutions in the IR. The $\mathbb{R}^2$ factor can be…
