Quantum phase transitions in holographic models of magnetism and superconductors

We study a holographic model realizing an “antiferromagnetic” phase in which a global SU(2) symmetry representing spin is broken down to a U(1) by the presence of a finite electric charge density. This involves the condensation of a neutral scalar field in a charged anti–de Sitter black hole. We obs...
