Weyl holographic superconductor in the Lifshitz black hole background

We investigate analytically the properties of the Weyl holographic superconductor in the Lifshitz black hole background. We find that the critical temperature of the Weyl superconductor decreases with increasing Lifshitz dynamical exponent, $z$, indicating that condensation becomes difficult. In addition, it is found that the critical temperature and condensation operator could be affected by applying the Weyl coupling, $\gamma$. Moreover, we compute the critical magnetic field and investigate its dependence on the parameters $\gamma$ and $z$. Finally, we show numerically that the Weyl coupling parameter $\gamma$ and the Lifshitz dynamical exponent $z$ together control the size and strength of the conductivity peak and the ratio of gap frequency over critical temperature $\omega_{g}/T_{c}$.Comment: 25 pages, 22 figure

Debating Shusenjo - the main battlefield of the comfort women issue: director Miki Dezaki in conversation with Mark R. Frost and Edward Vickers

This Asia-Pacific Journal: Japan Focus special issue on “The Comfort Women as Public History” concludes with documentary filmmaker Miki Dezaki in conversation with Edward Vickers and Mark R. Frost. Dezaki’s film Shusenjo, released in 2018, examines the controversy over “comfort women” within Japan, as well as its implications for Korea-Japan relations. Dezaki, himself Japanese-American, also devotes considerable attention to the growing ramifications of this controversy within the United States, as an instance of the increasing international significance of the comfort women issue. In this discussion, he, Frost and Vickers reflect on the messages of the film, the experience of making and distributing it, and what this reveals about the difficulty-and importance-of doing public history in a manner that respects the complexity of the past
