abstract

We present superconducting vortex solutions in the two-Higgs doublet model which has a gauged $U(1)$ Higgs-family symmetry. We write down an ansatz for the solution and study its basic properties, for the case of both global and gauged symmetries. We demonstrate its prima-facie stability using 3D numerical simulations of a global version of the theory, observing the flow of current along the string. We discuss how generic such a phenomena might be and the possible consequences if such a model is found in nature.

  • Stochastic Gravitational Wave Background from Chiral Superconducting Cosmic Strings astro-ph.CO · 2024-12-22 · conditional · none · ref 27 · internal anchor

    Superconducting cosmic string loops emit vector radiation whose strength is fitted in this paper; including this channel suppresses the predicted gravitational wave background for strong coupling and can make the spectrum compatible with NANOGrav for large currents.
