Analytical BPS Maxwell-Higgs vortices. (English) Zbl 1425.81111

Adv. High Energy Phys. 2014, Article ID 210929, 9 p. (2014).
Summary: We have established a prescription for the calculation of analytical vortex solutions in the context of generalized Maxwell-Higgs models whose overall dynamics is controlled by two positive functions of the scalar field, namely, \(f \left(\left|\phi\right|\right)\) and \(w \left(\left|\phi\right|\right)\). We have also determined a natural constraint between these functions and the Higgs potential \(U \left(\left|\phi\right|\right)\), allowing the existence of axially symmetric Bogomol’nyi-Prasad-Sommerfield (BPS) solutions possessing finite energy. Furthermore, when the generalizing functions are chosen suitably, the nonstandard BPS equations can be solved exactly. We have studied some examples, comparing them with the usual Abrikosov-Nielsen-Olesen (ANO) solution. The overall conclusion is that the analytical self-dual vortices are well-behaved in all relevant sectors, strongly supporting the consistency of the respective generalized models. In particular, our results mimic well-known properties of the usual (numerical) configurations, as localized energy density, while contributing to the understanding of topological solitons and their description by means of analytical methods.
