Abstract
- Abstract We explore the state of matter characterized by the charged timelike vector order parameter. We employ holographic duality in order to construct such a state and study its thermoelectric transport, fermionic spectral function and the character of the Meissner effect. We uncover the unusual features of this “timelike superconductor”: the absence of the gap in the fermionic spectrum and co-existence of Drude peak and supercurrent in the AC transport, which are reminiscent to those of time-reversal-odd and gapless superconductors, correspondingly. We show that this state is dynamically stable and thermodynamically at least metastable. Along the way we develop the holographic model of the charged vector field, which acquires mass due to a variant of the Stueckelberg mechanism with the adjoint Higgs field.
