abstract

I argue that coupling the Abelian Higgs model to gravity plus a negative cosmological constant leads to black holes which spontaneously break the gauge invariance via a charged scalar condensate slightly outside their horizon. This suggests that black holes can superconduct.

Einstein Rings in Holography

hep-th · 2019-06-20 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0

A formula maps QFT response functions under periodic sources to Einstein ring images of dual AdS black holes, with the ring radius set by the QFT total energy for Schwarzschild-AdS4.

Effective Field Theory for Superconducting Phase Transitions

hep-th · 2026-04-02 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0

An effective field theory for superconducting phase transitions is constructed via Schwinger-Keldysh formalism, reproducing Ginzburg-Landau equations upon truncation while showing overdamped Higgs modes and complex relaxation in holographic validation.

Superradiance -- the 2020 Edition

gr-qc · 2015-01-26 · unverdicted · novelty 4.0

Black-hole superradiance extracts energy via the ergoregion and can trigger instabilities with applications to dark matter, beyond-Standard-Model physics, and laboratory analogs.

Comments on higher-derivative corrections in the AdS/CFT duality

hep-th · 2026-05-14 · unverdicted · novelty 3.0

Prior works on higher-derivative corrections to holographic superconductors may employ an incorrect AdS/CFT dictionary, so that the direction of change in spontaneous condensate depends on the specific model with no universal rule.
