We numerically construct asymptotically Anti-de Sitter charged black hole solutions of (4 + 1)-dimensional SU(2) Einstein-Yang-Mills theory that, for suciently low temperature, develop vector hair. Via gauge-gravity duality, these solutions describe a strongly-coupled conformal eld theory at nite temperature and density that undergoes a phase transition to a superuid state with spontaneously broken rotational symmetry (a p-wave superuid state). The bulk theory has a single free parameter, the ratio of the ve-dimensional gravitational constant to the Yang-Mills coupling, which we denote as . Previous analyses have shown that in the so-called probe limit, where goes to zero and hence the gauge elds are ignored in Einstein’s equation, the transition to the superuid state is second order. We construct fully back-reacted solutions, where is nite and the gauge elds are included in Einstein’s equation, and nd that for values of above a critical value c = 0:365 0:001 in units of the AdS radius, the transition becomes rst order.
