Editor: M. Cvetič Based on the Sturm-Liouville eigenvalue problem, Banerjee et al. proposed a perturbative approach to analytically investigate the properties of the (2 + 1)-dimensional superconductor with Born-Infeld electrodynamics (Banerjee et al., 2013) [29]. By introducing an iterative procedure, we will further improve the analytical results and the consistency with the numerical findings, and can easily extend the analytical study to the higher-dimensional superconductor with Born-Infeld electrodynamics. We observe that the higher Born-Infeld corrections make it harder for the condensation to form but do not affect the critical phenomena of the system. Our analytical results can be used to back up the numerical computations for the holographic superconductors with various condensates in Born-Infeld electrodynamics.
We analytically study the holographic superfluid phase transition in the AdS
soliton background by using the variational method for the Sturm-Liouville
eigenvalue problem. By investigating the holographic s-wave and p-wave
superfluid models in the probe limit, we observe that the spatial component of
the gauge field will hinder the phase transition. Moreover, we note that,
different from the AdS black hole spacetime, in the AdS soliton background the
holographic superfluid phase transition always belongs to the second order and
the critical exponent of the system takes the mean-field value in both s-wave
and p-wave models. Our analytical results are found to be in good agreement
with the numerical findings.Comment: 17 pages, 3 figures. arXiv admin note: text overlap with

In Gauss-Bonnet gravity, we analytically investigate the p-wave superfluid models in five dimensional AdS soliton and AdS black hole in order to explore the influences of the higher curvature correction on the holographic superfluid phase transition. We observe that the analytical findings are in good agreement with the numerical computations. Our results show that the critical chemical potential of the system increases with the increase of the Gauss-Bonnet parameter in AdS soliton background, while the critical temperature decreases as the Gauss-Bonnet factor grows if the phase transition of the system is of the second order in AdS black hole background, both of which indicate that the higher curvature correction hinders the formation of the condensation of the vector operator. Moreover, the critical exponent of the system takes the mean-field value 1/2, which is independent of the Gauss-Bonnet parameter and the spatial component of the gauge field.
