Description
It has been shown by Chernodub et al. that the rho meson of QCD in the presence of a very large magnetic field condenses, giving a superconducting ground state. The solution takes on a lattice form of an Abrikosov type. We calculate the holographic dual of this phenomenon. In particular we show that for magnetic fields close to the critical value, the lattice takes on a triangular form, in agreement with the field theory calculations.
