Holographic Superconductors with Lifshitz Scaling
Black holes in asymptotically Lifshitz spacetime provide a window onto finite
temperature effects in strongly coupled Lifshitz models. We add a Maxwell gauge
field and charged matter to a recently proposed gravity dual of 2+1 dimensional
Lifshitz theory. This gives rise to charged black holes with scalar hair, which
correspond to the superconducting phase of holographic superconductors with z >
1 Lifshitz scaling. Along the way we analyze the global geometry of static,
asymptotically Lifshitz black holes at arbitrary critical exponent z > 1. In
all known exact solutions there is a null curvature singularity in the black
hole region, and, by a general argument, the same applies to generic Lifshitz
black holes.Comment: 23 pages, 4 figures; v2: added references; v3: matches published

Thermal Correlators in Holographic Models with Lifshitz scaling
We study finite temperature effects in two distinct holographic models that
exhibit Lifshitz scaling, looking to identify model independent features in the
dual strong coupling physics. We consider the thermodynamics of black branes
and find different low-temperature behavior of the specific heat. Deformation
away from criticality leads to non-trivial temperature dependence of
correlation functions and we study how the characteristic length scale in the
two point function of scalar operators varies as a function of temperature and
deformation parameters.Comment: 28 pages, 8 figures; typos corrected, references added, published

Holographic Superconductor for a Lifshitz fixed point
We consider the gravity dual of strongly coupled system at a Lifshitz-fixed
point and finite temperature, which was constructed in a recent work
arXiv:0909.0263. We construct an Abelian Higgs model in that background and
calculate condensation and conductivity using holographic techniques. We find
that condensation happens and DC conductivity blows up when temperature turns
below a critical value.Comment: 14 pages, 4 figures, v4: improved version, references adde
Thermodynamics of Large AdS Black Holes
We consider leading order quantum corrections to the geometry of large AdS
black holes in a spherical reduction of four-dimensional Einstein gravity with
negative cosmological constant. The Hawking temperature grows without bound
with increasing black hole mass, yet the semiclassical back-reaction on the
geometry is relatively mild, indicating that observers in free fall outside a
large AdS black hole never see thermal radiation at the Hawking temperature.
The positive specific heat of large AdS black holes is a statement about the
dual gauge theory rather than an observable property on the gravity side.
Implications for string thermodynamics with an AdS infrared regulator are
briefly discussed.Comment: 17 pages, 1 figure, v2. added reference
Analytic Lifshitz black holes in higher dimensions
We generalize the four-dimensional R^2-corrected z=3/2 Lifshitz black hole to
a two-parameter family of black hole solutions for any dynamical exponent z and
for any dimension D. For a particular relation between the parameters, we find
the first example of an extremal Lifshitz black hole. An asymptotically
Lifshitz black hole with a logarithmic decay is also exhibited for a specific
critical exponent depending on the dimension. We extend this analysis to the
more general quadratic curvature corrections for which we present three new
families of higher-dimensional D>=5 analytic Lifshitz black holes for generic
z. One of these higher-dimensional families contains as critical limits the z=3
three-dimensional Lifshitz black hole and a new z=6 four-dimensional black
hole. The variety of analytic solutions presented here encourages to explore
these gravity models within the context of non-relativistic holographic
correspondence.Comment: 14 page

Holographic superconductor models in the non-minimal derivative coupling theory
We study a general class of holographic superconductor models via the
St\"{u}ckelberg mechanism in the non-minimal derivative coupling theory in
which the charged scalar field is kinetically coupling to Einstein's tensor. We
explore the effects of the coupling parameter on the critical temperature, the
order of phase transitions and the critical exponents near the second-order
phase transition point. Moreover, we compute the electric conductive using the
probe approximation and check the ratios for the different
coupling parameters.Comment: 12 pages, 5 figure
Holographic conductivity of zero temperature superconductors
Using the recently found by G. Horowitz and M. Roberts (arXiv:0908.3677)
numerical model of the ground state of holographic superconductors (at zero
temperature), we calculate the conductivity for such models. The universal
relation connecting conductivity with the reflection coefficient was used for
finding the conductivity by the WKB approach. The dependence of the
conductivity on the frequency and charge density is discussed. Numerical
calculations confirm the general arguments of (arXiv:0908.3677) in favor of
non-zero conductivity even at zero temperature. In addition to the
Horowitz-Roberts solution we have found (probably infinite) set of extra
solutions which are normalizable and reach the same correct RN-AdS asymptotic
at spatial infinity. These extra solutions (which correspond to larger values
of the grand canonical potential) lead to effective potentials that also vanish
at the horizon and thus correspond to a non-zero conductivity at zero
temperature.Comment: 9 pages, 10 figure
Complementarities between IT and Organizational Structure: The Role of Corporate Exploration and Exploitation
The decentralization of organizational decision authority has been shown to be complementary to Information Technology (IT) in prior research. We draw from the information processing view of organizations, the IT and de/centralization debate, and organizational learning theory to argue that IT payoffs can also be improved by greater centralization of decision authority, contingent on a firm’s corporate learning type. We argue that an exploratory learning type is best pursued with a decentralized organization design, while an exploitative learning type requires a centralized organization design. We hypothesize that under corporate exploration, IT payoffs are enhanced through greater decentralization, whereas under corporate exploitation, returns to IT are improved by greater centralization. Our study uses a novel multi‐source panel on the IT capital, the degree of de/centralization, and the performance of almost 260 German manufacturing firms. We estimate production functions to assess the contribution of combning IT with de/centralization to firmlevel productivity under different corporate learning types. Our results strongly support our hypotheses and hold up to a variety of robustness tests
