We study the phase transitions in the metal/superconductor system using topological invariants of the Ryu-Takayanagi ($RT$) surface and the volume enclosed by the $RT$ surface in the Lifshitz black hole background. It is shown that these topological invariant quantities identify not only the phase transition but also its order. According to these findings a discontinuity slope is observed at the critical points for these invariant quantities that correspond to the second order of phase transition. These topological invariants provide a clearer illustration of the superconductor phase transition than do the holographic entanglement entropy and the holographic complexity. Also, the backreaction parameter, $k$, is found to have an important role in distinguishing the critical points. The reducing values of the parameter $k$ means that the backreaction of the matter fields are negligible. A continuous slope is observed around the critical points which is characteristic of the probe limit. In addition, exploring the nonlinear electrodynamic, the effects of the nonlinear parameter, $beta$, is investigated. Finally the properties of conductivity are numerically explored in our model.

We introduce group field theory networks as a generalization of spin networks and of (symmetric) random tensor networks and provide a statistical computation of the Renyi entropy for a bipartite network state using the partition function of a simple interacting group field theory. The expectation value of the entanglement entropy is calculated by an expansion into stranded Feynman graphs and is shown to be captured by a Ryu- Takayanagi formula. For a simple interacting group field theory, we can prove the linear corrections, given by a polynomial perturbation of the Gaussian measure, to be negligible for a broad class of networks.
I argue that a version of the quantum-corrected Ryu-Takayanagi formula holds in any quantum error-correcting code. I present this result as a series of theorems of increasing generality, with the final statement expressed in the language of operator-algebra quantum error correction. In AdS/CFT this gives a purely boundary interpretation of the formula. I also extend a recent theorem, which established entanglement-wedge reconstruction in AdS/CFT, when interpreted as a subsystem code, to the more general, and I argue more physical, case of subalgebra codes. For completeness, I include a self-contained presentation of the theory of von Neumann algebras on finite-dimensional Hilbert spaces, as well as the algebraic definition of entropy. The results confirm a close relationship between bulk gauge transformations, edge-modes/soft-hair on black holes, and the Ryu-Takayanagi formula. They also suggest a new perspective on the homology constraint, which basically is to get rid of it in a way that preserves the validity of the formula, but which removes any tension with the linearity of quantum mechanics. Moreover they suggest a boundary interpretation of the bit threads recently introduced by Freedman and Headrick.
We investigate analytically the asymptotic critical behavior at large chemical potential of the conformal field living at the AdS boundary of a four-dimensional spacetime Einstein gravity. The threshold values of the chemical potential for the appearance of condensate states are discrete, equal spacing, with the gap approaches zero logarithmically in the limit $Trightarrow 0$. Numerical results surprisingly show that, the result apply even for states with low quantum number, as low as for the first or second excited states of the condensate, especially on the liquid side of the black hole van der Waals - like phase transition. We postulate that, at the exact limit $T = 0$ where the gap is zero, all excite states of the condensate are activated above a finite chemical potential, suggesting a new quantum phase transition as a function of the chemical potential.
The Ryu-Takayanagi formula provides the entanglement entropy of quantum field theory as an area of the minimal surface (Ryu-Takayangi surface) in a corresponding gravity theory. There are some attempts to understand the formula as a flow rather than as a surface. In this paper, we propose that null rays emitted from the AdS boundary can be regarded as such a flow. In particular, we show that in spherical symmetric static spacetimes with a negative cosmological constant, wave fronts of null geodesics from a point on the AdS boundary become extremal surfaces and therefore they can be regarded as the Ryu-Takayanagi surfaces. In addition, based on the viewpoint of flow, we propose a wave optical formula to calculate the holographic entanglement entropy.
In the previous paper [arXiv:0911.0679], we showed that the Reissner-Nordstrom black hole in the 5-dimensional anti-de Sitter space coupled to the Maxwell theory with the Chern-Simons term is unstable when the Chern-Simons coupling is sufficiently large. In the dual conformal field theory, the instability suggests a spatially modulated phase transition. In this paper, we construct and analyze non-linear solutions which describe the end-point of this phase transition. In the limit where the Chern-Simons coupling is large, we find that the phase transition is of the second order with the mean field critical exponent. However, the dispersion relation with the Van Hove singularity enhances quantum corrections in the bulk, and we argue that this changes the order of the phase transition from the second to the first. We compute linear response functions in the non-linear solution and find an infinite off-diagonal DC conductivity in the new phase.
