Fluids of Vortices And Dark Matter
Filipe Bonjour, P. S. Letelier
By considering full-field string solutions of the Abelian--Higgs model, we modify the model of a fluid of strings (which is composed of Nambu strings) to obtain a model for a ``flu…
The dynamics of curved gravitating walls
Filipe Bonjour, Christos Charmousis, Ruth Gregory
We examine the dynamics of a self-gravitating domain wall using the model as a specific example. We find that the Nambu motion of the wall is quite generic and dominates the…
Thick self-gravitating plane-symmetric domain walls
Filipe Bonjour, Christos Charmousis, Ruth Gregory
We investigate a self-gravitating thick domain wall for a potential. The system of scalar and Einstein equations admits two types of non-trivial solutions: domain wall solut…
Thick domain wall universes
Filipe Bonjour, Christos Charmousis, Ruth Gregory
We investigate the spacetime of a thick gravitating domain wall for a general potential . Using general analytical arguments we show that all nontrivial solutions fall into t…
Comment on ``Absence of abelian Higgs hair for extremal black holes''
Filipe Bonjour, Ruth Gregory
We examine the claim of Chamblin et. al. that extreme black holes cannot support abelian Higgs hair. We provide evidence that contradicts this claim and discuss reasons for this di…
Vortices and extreme black holes: the question of flux expulsion
Filipe Bonjour, Roberto Emparan, Ruth Gregory
It has been claimed that extreme black holes exhibit a phenomenon of flux expulsion for abelian Higgs vortices, irrespective of the relative width of the vortex to the black hole.…
