The gravity dual to a quantum critical point with spontaneous symmetry breaking

Gubser, Steven S., Rocha, Fabio D.

Understand

We consider zero temperature solutions to the Abelian Higgs model coupled to gravity with a negative cosmological constant.

  • With appropriate choices of parameters, the geometry contains two copies of anti-de Sitter space, one describing conformal invariance in the ultraviolet, and one in the infrared.
  • The effective speed of signal propagation is smaller in the infrared.
  • Green's functions and associated transport coefficients can have unusual power law scaling in the infrared.
