Flavor Superconductivity from Gauge/Gravity Duality

Understand

We give a detailed account and extensions of a holographic flavor superconductivity model which we have proposed recently.

• The model has an explicit field theory realization as strongly coupled N=2 Super Yang-Mills theory with fundamental matter at finite temperature and finite isospin chemical potential.
• Using gauge/gravity duality, i.e.
• a probe of two flavor D7-branes in the AdS black hole background, we show that the system undergoes a second order phase transition with critical exponent 1/2.
