Excitation of a vortex in the Abelian Higgs model is investigated with the help of a polynomial approximation. The excitation can be regarded as a longitudinal component of the vector field trapped by the vortex. The energy and profile of…

Classical vortex solutions in various two-Higgs systems are studied. The systems we consider include the standard model with two Higgs doublets, in which case the vortex appears as part of a string-like object. The Higgs potentials contain…

We show that the solutions of the Bogomolny equations for the Abelian Higgs model on a two-dimensional torus, can be expanded in powers of a quantity epsilon measuring the departure of the area from the critical area. This allows a precise…
We consider the Nielsen-Olesen vortex non-minimally coupled to Einstein gravity with cosmological constant $\Lambda$. A non-minimal coupling term $\xi\,R\,|\phi|^2$ is natural to add to the vortex as it preserves gauge-invariance (here $R$…
