Vortex Dynamics in Selfdual Maxwell-Higgs Systems with Uniform Background Electric Charge Density

High Energy Physics - Theory 2009-10-22 v1

Abstract

We introduce selfdual Maxwell-Higgs systems with uniform background electric charge density and show that the selfdual equations satisfied by topological vortices can be reduced to the original Bogomol'nyi equations without any background. These vortices are shown to carry no spin but to feel the Magnus force due to the shielding charge carried by the Higgs field. We also study the dynamics of slowly moving vortices and show that the spin-statistics theorem holds to our vortices.
