Abstract

Within the context of AdS/CFT, the gravity dual of an s-wave superfluid is given by scalar QED on an asymptotically AdS spacetime. While this conclusion is vastly based on numerical arguments, I will provide an analytical proof that this is indeed the case. In particular, I will present a technique which allows to explicitely compute the low-energy effective action for the boundary theory starting from the bulk system. This will be done for an arbitrary number of dimensions and an arbitrary potential. I will recover the known dispersion relation for conformal first sound.
