Abstract: In this paper we propose a generalised holographic framework to describe superconductors. We first unify the description of s-, p- and d-wave superconductors in a way that can be easily promoted to higher spin. Using a semi-analytical procedure to compute the superconductor properties, we are able to further generalise the geometric description of the hologram beyond the AdS-Schwarzschild Black Hole paradigm, and propose a set of higher-dimensional metrics which exhibit the same universal behaviour. We then study the properties of the condensate and the scaling of the critical temperature with the parameters of the higher-dimensional theory, reproducing existing results in the literature and extending them to include a possible description of the newly observed f-wave superconducting systems.


Summary: In this paper we propose a generalised holographic framework to describe superconductors. We first unify the description of \(s\)-, \(p\)-, and \(d\)-wave superconductors in a way that can be easily promoted to higher spin. Using a semianalytical procedure to compute the superconductor properties, we are able to further generalise the geometric description of the hologram beyond the AdS-Schwarzschild Black Hole paradigm and propose a set of higher-dimensional metrics which exhibit the same universal behaviour. We then apply this generalised description to study the properties of the condensate and the scaling of the critical temperature with the parameters of the higher-dimensional theory, which allows us to reproduce existing results in the literature and extend them to include a possible description of the newly observed \(f\)-wave superconducting systems.
