Holographic Superconductivity with Gauss-Bonnet gravity

High Energy Physics - Theory 2015-03-17 v1

Abstract

I review recent work on holographic superconductivity with Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet gravity, and show how the critical temperature of the superconductor depends on both gravitational backreaction and the Gauss-Bonnet parameter, using both analytic and numerical arguments. I also review computations of the conductivity, finding the energy gap, and demonstrating that there is no universal gap ratio, ωg/Tc\omega_g/T_c, for these superconductors.
