We investigate in more detail the holographic model of a superconductor recently found by Hartnoll, Herzog, and Horowitz [Phys. Rev. Lett. 101, 031601], which is constructed from a condensate of a charged scalar field in AdS_4-Schwarzschild background. By analytically studying the perturbation of the gravitational system near the critical temperature T_c, we obtain the superconducting coherence length proportional to 1/\sqrt{1-T/T_c} via AdS/CFT correspondence. By adding a small external homogeneous magnetic field to the system, we find that a stationary diamagnetic current proportional to the square of the order parameter is induced by the magnetic field. These results agree with Ginzburg-Landau theory and strongly support the idea that a superconductor can be described by a charged scalar field on a black hole via AdS/CFT duality.

    hep-th 2026-03 conditional novelty 5.0

    A first-order Seiberg–Witten twist of the bulk gauge fields lowers the critical magnetic field of 3D and 4D holographic superconductors, Bc = Bc⁰(1 − Bc⁰ k̄), mimicking a stronger applied field B_eff = B(1+Bθ).
