SUMMARY:Is it a superconductor or is it a black hole? - Julian Sonner\, DA

DESCRIPTION:As an application of gauge gravity duality it has been propose
 d that a transition between black holes in AdS carrying a certain kind of 
 scalar hair and black holes without such hair could be useful in describin
 g the superconducting instabilities of strongly correlated quantum critica
 l theories\nin condensed matter physics (I will define what these are in m
 y talk). This suggestion has sparked a fair amount of recent work and I wi
 ll aim to give an\noverview of the subject with a view on so-called top-do
 wn realisations\, which embed the basic models into an M-theoretic framewo
 rk\, often with interesting\nphysical consequences in particular in the lo
 w-temperature regime of the quantum-critical phase diagram.
