Description
The concept of the holographic superconductor provides an exciting and novel way of investigating high temperature superconductivity via the study of black hole physics. In this talk I will discuss recent work done by myself and collaborators in which we studied fully back-reacting, holographic superconductors in Gauss-Bonnet gravity. First, I will give a brief introduction to the subject. I will then discuss our findings regarding the effect of the Gauss-Bonnet terms on the superconductor.
