Holographic entanglement entropy and subregion complexity for excited states of holographic superconductors
We investigate the holographic entanglement entropy (HEE) and the holographic subregion complexity (HSC) for holographic superconductors, both in the Einstein and in the Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet gravitational theories. For both ground and excited states, we show that, in the Einstein gravity, the HSC d...

Summary: | We investigate the holographic entanglement entropy (HEE) and the holographic subregion complexity (HSC) for holographic superconductors, both in the Einstein and in the Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet gravitational theories. For both ground and excited states, we show that, in the Einstein gravity, the HSC decreases as the temperature increases and the normal phase has a smaller HSC than the superconducting phase, which is opposite to the behavior of the HEE. Moreover, we find out that, for a given temperature T in the superconducting phase, the higher excited state leads to a lager value of the HEE but a smaller value of the HSC. However, the Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet gravity has significantly different effect on the HSC, while the HEE always increases monotonously as the temperature increases and its value in the normal phase always larger than that in the superconducting phase. Our results indicate that the HEE and HSC provide richer physics in phase transitions and condensation of scalar hair for holographic superconductors with excited states. |
