Abstract
This paper is devoted to demonstrating manifest superfluid properties of the Minkowskian Higgs model with vacuum BPS monopole solutions at assuming the "continuous" vacuum geometry in that model. It will be also argued that point hedgehog topological defects are present in the Minkowskian Higgs model with BPS monopoles. It turns out, and we show this, that the enumerated phenomena are compatible with the Faddeev-Popov "heuristic" quantization of the Minkowskian Higgs model with vacuum BPS monopoles, coming to fixing the Weyl (temporal) gauge for gauge fields in the Faddeev-Popov path integral.
