چکیده

We explore the low-temperature behavior of the Abelian Higgs model in AdS4, away from the probe limit in which back-reaction of matter fields on the metric can be neglected. Over a significant range of charges for the complex scalar, we observe a second order phase transition at finite temperature. The symmetry-breaking states are superconducting black holes. At least when the charge of the scalar is not too small, we observe at low temperatures the emergence of a domain wall structure characterized by a definite index of refraction. We also compute the conductivity as a function of frequency. October 2008 ar X iv :0 81 0. 45 54 v2 [ he pth ] 2 6 Ja n 20 09

Super algebra and Harmonic Oscillator in Anti de Sitter space

The harmonic oscillator in anti de Sitter space(AdS) is discussed. We consider the harmonic oscillator potential and then time independent Schrodinger equation in AdS space. Then we apply the supersymmetric Quantum Mechanics approach to solve our differential equation. In this paper we have solved Schrodinger equation for harmonic oscillator in AdS spacetime by supersymmetry approach. The shape...

The Littlest Higgs in Anti-de Sitter Space

We implement the SU(5)/SO(5) littlest Higgs theory in a slice of 5D Anti-de Sitter space bounded by a UV brane and an IR brane. In this model, there is a bulk SU(5) gauge symmetry that is broken to SO(5) on the IR brane, and the Higgs boson is contained in the Goldstones from this breaking. All of the interactions on the IR brane preserve the global symmetries that protect the Higgs mass, but a...

0 Solutions of the Yang - Mills - Higgs equations in 2 + 1 dimensional anti - de Sitter space - time

The solutions of the Bogomolny equation in 2+1 dimensional anti-de Sitter space-time are obtained by using Darboux transformations with both constant spectral parameters and variable “spectral parameters”. These solutions give the Yang-Mills-Higgs fields in 2+1 dimensional antide Sitter space-time. Some examples in SU(2) case are considered and qualitative asymptotic behaviors of the solutions ...
