Description
Summary:In this paper, considering the probe limit, we analytically study the onset of holographic s-wave condensate in the planar Schwarzschild-Ad S background. Inspired by various low-energy features of string theory, in the present work we replace the conventional Maxwell action with a (nonlinear) Born-Infeld action which essentially corresponds to the higher-derivative corrections of the gauge fields. Based on a variational method which is commonly known as the Sturm-Liouville eigenvalue problem and considering a nontrivial asymptotic solution for the scalar field, we compute the critical temperature for the s-wave condensation. The results thus obtained analytically agree well with the numerical findings [J. Jing and S. Chen, Rhys. Lett. B 686, 68 (2010)]. As a next step, we extend our perturbative technique to compute the order parameter for the condensation. Interestingly, our analytic results are found to be of the same order as the numerical values obtained earlier.
