Superconductive Tendencies of Strange Metals
Summary
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.
