The Abrikosov Vortex in Curved Space
arXiv:2106.12260 · doi:10.1007/JHEP09(2021)012
Abstract
We study the self-gravitating Abrikosov vortex in curved space with and without a (negative) cosmological constant, considering both singular and non-singular solutions with an eye to hairy black holes. In the asymptotically flat case, we find that non-singular vortices round off the singularity of the point particle's metric in 3 dimensions, whereas singular solutions consist of vortices holding a conical singularity at their core. There are no black hole vortex solutions. In the asymptotically AdS case, in addition to these solutions there exist singular solutions containing a BTZ black hole, but they are always hairless. So we find that in contrast with 4-dimensional 't Hooft-Polyakov monopoles, which can be regarded as their higher-dimensional analogues, Abrikosov vortices cannot hold a black hole at their core. We also describe the implications of these results in the context of AdS/CFT and propose an interpretation for their CFT dual along the lines of the holographic superconductor.
