Spectral function v.s.Retarded Green function Spectral function: Density of states:
AdS/CFT correspondence φ • Consider a correspondence pair (O, ) • Retarded Green function of operator O can be seen as reflection coefficient of by imposing in-falling boundary condition at horizon. φ O φ
Holographic non-fermi liquid • Extremal charged AdS-BH always has AdS2 as its near horizon geometry • Dirac fermion probed in AdS2 might be related to the non-fermi liquid at quantum critical point. (Sung-Sik Lee, Hong Liu, etc.) • What if a new phase appears before critical point is reached? Normal Phase SC Phase QC Point

Holographic superconducting vacuum • Operational definition:continue lowering temperature below Tc, where condensate forms, untill it reaches absolute zero • Thanks to condensate, it has to be different from trivial vacuum, and different from nontrivial vacuum of extremal charged black hole AdS vacuum Final state of SSBH AdS + condensate Final state of cBH + Higgs Extremal AdS-RN Final state of RNBH
Through backreaction, our geometry now encodes the information of condensate, which mostly deforms IR physics. [Horowitz-Roberts,09] HTSC in SC vacuum
Numerical result • Spin average spectral function is imaginary part of trace of retarded Green function (ΔB=2ΔF=3) Chen-Kao-Wen, arXiv:0911.2821

Prospects • A hard gap solution exists for s-wave HSC only by introducing Majorana coupling for the probed fermion. Any better/smarter way? • Will a probed fermion in p-wave HSC also show a hard gap? • Can we realize d-wave HSC, which is closer to High-Tc SC?
