Breaking an Abelian gauge symmetry near a black hole horizon

arXiv:0801.2977 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevD.78.065034

Abstract

I argue that coupling the Abelian Higgs model to gravity plus a negative cosmological constant leads to black holes which spontaneously break the gauge invariance via a charged scalar condensate slightly outside their horizon. This suggests that black holes can superconduct.
