✦ Synopsis
Abstract
We review a recent holographic analysis [1] of charged black holes with scalar hair in view of their applications to the cuprate high temperature superconductors. We show in particular that these black holes show an interesting phase structure including critical behaviour at zero temperature or charge, describe both conductors and insulators (including holographic Mott‐like insulators), generically have no residual entropy and exhibit experimentally observed scaling relations between electronic entropy, specific heat and (linear) DC resistivity. Transport properties are discussed in the companion contribution [2] in these proceedings.

## Abstract After a brief review of Gödel‐type universes in string theory, we discuss some intriguing properties of black holes immersed in such backgrounds. Among these are the upper bound on the entropy that points towards a finite‐dimensional Hilbert space of a holographically dual theory, and t
## Abstract We consider a spherically symmetric, double characteristic initial value problem for the (real) Einstein‐Maxwell‐scalar field equations. On the initial outgoing characteristic, the data is assumed to satisfy the Price law decay widely believed to hold on an event horizon arising from th
