Superconductive Tendencies of Strange Metals

Abstract

Motivated by recent ARPES experiments on strange metals, we implement those measurements to the standard condensed-matter theory. Considering that the best description is found to be a nodal self-energy similar to that of the Gubser- Rocha model, derived by AdS/CFT calculations, we are encouraged to match this term’s analytical properties to the standard formalism and calculate the critical temperature corrections produced. Comparing it with the standard BCS predic- tion, we evaluate whether such correction has a tendency to higher temperature superconductivity.
