On chromoelectric (super)conductivity of the Yang-Mills vacuum
M. N. Chernodub, Jos Van Doorsselaere, Tigran Kalaydzhyan +1
We argue that in the Copenhagen (``spaghetti'') picture of the QCD vacuum the chromomagnetic flux tubes exhibit chromoelectric superconductivity. We show that the superconducting c…
Vafa-Witten theorem, vector meson condensates and magnetic-field-induced electromagnetic superconductivity of vacuum
M. N. Chernodub
We show that the electromagnetic superconductivity of vacuum in strong magnetic field background is consistent with the Vafa-Witten theorem because the charged vector meson condens…
Electromagnetic superconductivity of vacuum induced by strong magnetic field
M. N. Chernodub
The quantum vacuum may become an electromagnetic superconductor in the presence of a strong external magnetic field of the order of 10^{16} Tesla. The magnetic field of the require…
Vacuum superconductivity, conventional superconductivity and Schwinger pair production
M. N. Chernodub
In a background of a very strong magnetic field a quantum vacuum may turn into a new phase characterized by anisotropic electromagnetic superconductivity. The phase transition shou…
