Holographic Phase Transition to Topological Dyons

TL;DR

This paper investigates a topological phase transition in a holographic model where a scalar field acquires a non-zero value at a critical temperature, indicating the formation of a topological dyon in the bulk and a phase change at the boundary.

Contribution

It demonstrates the emergence of a topological dyon in the bulk and a corresponding phase transition in a holographic Einstein-Yang-Mills-Higgs model.

Findings

Scalar field becomes non-zero at critical temperature

Topological dyon appears in the bulk

Phase transition occurs at the boundary

Abstract

The dynamical stability of a Julia-Zee solution in the AdS background in a four dimensional Einstein-Yang-Mills-Higgs theory is studied. We find that the model with a vanishing scalar field develops a non-zero value for the field at a certain critical temperature which corresponds to a topological dyon in the bulk and a topological phase transition at the boundary.
