Understand

We consider holographic superconductors whose bulk description consists of gravity minimally coupled to a Maxwell field and charged scalar field with general potential.

We give an analytic argument that there is no "hard gap": the real part of the conductivity at low frequency remains nonzero (although typically exponentially small) even at zero temperature.
We also numerically construct the gravitational dual of the ground state of some holographic superconductors.
Depending on the charge and dimension of the condensate, the infrared theory can have emergent conformal or just Poincare symmetry.
