It is shown that abelian Higgs vortices on a hyperbolic surface $M$ can be constructed geometrically from holomorphic maps $f:M \to N$, where $N$ is also a hyperbolic surface. The fields depend on $f$ and on the metrics of $M$ and $N$. The…
Vortex solutions to the classical field equations in a massive, renormalizable U(1) gauge model are considered in (2+1) dimensions. A vector field whose kinetic term consists of a Chern-Simons term plus a Stuekelberg mass term is coupled to…

We propose that the observed splitting of the vortices in the cuprates into fractional vortices (partons) may be of static rather than of dynamic origin. This interpretation is backed by a study of a model with a dominant d-wave and…

We explicitly find an exact spherically symmetric solution in quadratic non-metricity gravity. We show that the quadratic term acts as a cosmological constant. This solution contradicts all the claims in the literature that there is no…
