Aspects of Holographic Superconductors

Anindya Mukherjee

UBC

In this talk I'll summarize how gauge gravity duality can be used to construct a gravitational model which mimics various properties of condensed matter systems, like superconductivity. Next I will describe a few examples illustrating how quantities like conductivity, speed of second sound can be computed for this system.
