Momentum dependent gap in holographic superconductors revisited

Abstract

We reconsider the angular dependence in gap structure of holographic superconductors, which has not been treated carefully so far. For the vector field model, we show that the normalizable ground state is in the p-wave state because s-wave state is not normalizable. On the other hand, in the scalar order model, the ground state is in the $s$-wave. The angle dependent gap function is explicitly constructed in these models. We also suggest the modified ansatz of the vector order which enables to discuss the order $p_x\pm i{p}_y$ gap, which has not been possible so far. We have also analytically investigated the critical temperature and the behavior of the gap near there. Interestingly, for the fixed conformal dimension of the Cooper pair operator, the critical temperature in vector model is higher than that of the scalar model.
