Holographic Lifshitz superconductors: Analytic solution

High Energy Physics - Theory 2018-03-28 v2 General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology

Abstract

We construct an analytic solution for a one-parameter family of holographic superconductors in asymptotically Lifshitz spacetimes. We utilize this solution to explore various properties of the systems such as (1) the superfluid phase background and the grand canonical potential, (2) the order parameter response function or the susceptibility, (3) the London equation, (4) the background with a superfluid flow or a magnetic field. From these results, we identify the dual Ginzburg-Landau theory including numerical coefficients. Also, the dynamic critical exponent zdz_d associated with the critical point is given by zd=2z_d=2 irrespective of the value of the Lifshitz exponent zz.
