Abstract

We elaborate a theory of giant vortices [1] based on an asymptotic expansion in inverse powers of their winding number nn. The theory is applied to the analysis of vortex solutions in the abelian Higgs (Ginzburg-Landau) model. Specific properties of the giant vortices for charged and neutral scalar fields as well as different integrable limits of the scalar self-coupling are discussed. Asymptotic results and the finite-nn corrections to the vortex solutions are derived in analytic form and the convergence region of the expansion is determined.
