Abstract

The Meissner effect for superconductors in spacetimes with torsion is revisited.Two new physical interpretaions are presented.The first considers the Landau-Ginzburg theory yields a new symmetry-breaking vacuum depending on torsion.In the second interpretation a gravitational Meissner torsional effect where when the Higgs field vanishes, torsion and electromagnetic fields need not vanish and outside the Abrikosov tubes a torsion vector analogous to the Maxwell potential is obtained.The analogy is even stronger if we think that in this case the torsion vector has to be derivable from a torsion potential.Another solution of Landau-Ginzburg equation is shown to lead naturally to the geometrization of the electromagnetism in terms of the torsion field.
