Holographic entanglement entropy in metal/superconductor phase transition with Born-Infeld electrodynamics. (English) Zbl 1326.82031

Summary: We investigate the holographic entanglement entropy in the metal/superconductor phase transition for the Born-Infeld electrodynamics with full backreaction and note that the entropy is a good probe to study the properties of the phase transition. For the operator \(\langle \mathcal{O}_- \rangle\), we find that the entanglement entropy decreases (or increases) with the increase of the Born-Infeld parameter \(b\) in the metal (or superconducting) phase. For the operator \(\langle \mathcal{O}_+ \rangle\), we observe that, with the increase of the Born-Infeld parameter, the entanglement entropy in the metal phase decreases monotonously but the entropy in the superconducting phase first increases and forms a peak at some threshold \(b_T\), then decreases continuously. Moreover, the value of \(b_T\) becomes smaller as the width of the subsystem \(A\) decreases.
