Charged and superconducting vortices in dense quark matter
arXiv:hep-ph/0109256 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevLett.88.132302
Abstract
Quark matter at astrophysical densities may contain stable vortices due to the spontaneous breaking of hypercharge symmetry by kaon condensation. We argue that these vortices could be both charged and electrically superconducting. Current carrying loops (vortons) could be long lived and play a role in the magnetic and transport properties of this matter. We provide a scenario for vorton formation in protoneutron stars.
