Rotating holographic superconductor

In this paper we initiate the study of spontaneous symmetry breaking in 3 + 1 dimensional rotating, charged, asymptotically AdS black holes. The theory living on their boundary, R x S-2, has the interpretation of a 2 + 1 dimensional rotating holographic superconductor. We study the appearance of a marginal mode of the condensate as the temperature is decreased. We find that the transition temperature depends on the rotation. At temperatures just below T-c, the transition temperature at zero rotation, there exists a critical value of the rotation, which destroys the superconducting order. This behavior is analogous to the emergence of a critical applied magnetic field and we show that the superconductor in fact produces the expected London field in the planar limit.
