Description

We find holographic insulators and superconductors with a hard gap and a discrete spectrum, from an Einstein-Maxwell-scalar system in a fractionalized phase. The ground state of the system has a hyperscaling violating geometry in the IR. We break the translational invariance by adding massless scalar fields responsible for momentum dissipation.
