Abstract

In this paper we initiate the study of spontaneous symmetry breaking in 3+1 dimensional rotating, charged, asymptotically AdS black holes. The theory living on their boundary, R×S2, has the interpretation of a 2+1 dimensional rotating holographic superconductor. We study the appearance of a marginal mode of the condensate as the temperature is decreased. We find that the transition temperature depends on the rotation. At temperatures just below Tc, the transition temperature at zero rotation, there exists a critical value of the rotation, which destroys the superconducting order. This behavior is analogous to the emergence of a critical applied magnetic field and we show that the superconductor in fact produces the expected London field in the planar limit.
