Superconductivity from gauge/gravity duality with flavor

Understand

We consider thermal strongly-coupled N=2 SYM theory with fundamental matter at finite isospin chemical potential.

• Using gauge/gravity duality, i.e.
• a probe of two flavor D7-branes embedded in the AdS black hole background, we find a critical temperature at which the system undergoes a second order phase transition.
• The critical exponent of this transition is one half and coincides with the result from mean field theory.
