Holographic Lifshitz Superconductors with an Axion Field

arXiv:1402.4691 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevD.89.106005

Abstract

We use a Yang-Mills field coupled to an axion as probes of a black hole with arbitrary Lifshitz scaling to investigate, via holography, superconducting phase transitions of the dual theory with a condensate. In the relativistic case with no axion, this phase is known to be unstable, the stable phase corresponding to condensates of the form. We investigate this stability in theories with non-relativistic scaling. Finally we numerically compute the "Hall" conductivity of these black holes in the non superconducting phase as a function of their Lifshitz scaling.
