Studies of a general flat space/boson star transition model in a box through a language similar to holographic superconductors

arXiv:1705.08694 · doi:10.1007/JHEP07(2017)042

Abstract

We study a general flat space/boson star transition model in quasi-local ensemble through approaches familiar from holographic superconductor theories. We manage to find a parameter $ψ_{2}$, which is proved to be useful in disclosing properties of phase transitions. In this work, we explore effects of the scalar mass, scalar charge and St$\ddot{u}$ckelberg mechanism on the critical phase transition points and the order of transitions mainly from behaviors of the parameter $ψ_{2}$. We mention that properties of transitions in quasi-local gravity are strikingly similar to those in holographic superconductor models. We also obtain an analytical relation $ψ_{2}\varpropto(μ-μ_{c})^{1/2}$, which also holds for the condensed scalar operator in the holographic insulator/superconductor system in accordance with mean field theories.
