Since the Ginzburg-Landau theory is concerned with macroscopic phenomena, and gravity affects how objects interact at the macroscopic level. It becomes relevant to study the Ginzburg-Landau theory in curved space, that is, in the presence…
We introduced a generalized Maxwell-Higgs model in a $(3+1)$ isotropic spacetime, and we found their stationary solutions using the BPS approach in curved spacetime. In order to investigate the compact-like vortices, we assume a particular…

We introduce a new approach to the Higgs naturalness problem, where the value of the Higgs mass is tied to cosmic stability and the possibility of a large observable Universe. The Higgs mixes with the dilaton of a CFT sector whose true…
We present n-dimensional vortex-ring-like and potential-like solutions with unusual properties related to some elliptical differential equations with compact sources. Solutions have almost 3- or 2-dimensional behaviour in the spaces with…

We study self-dual multi-vortex solutions of Chern-Simons Higgs theory in a background curved spacetime. The existence and decaying property of a solution are demonstrated.
We investigate the presence of vortices in generalized Maxwell-Higgs models with a hidden sector. The model engenders $U(1)\times U(1)$ symmetry, in a manner that the sectors are coupled via the visible magnetic permeability depending only…

A detailed study of vortices is presented in Ginzburg-Landau (or Abelian Higgs) models with two complex scalars (order parameters) assuming a general U(1)$\times$U(1) symmetric potential. Particular emphasis is given to the case, when only…
By dimensional reduction, Einstein-Hermitian equations of n + 1 dimensional closed Kahler manifolds lead to vortex equations of n dimensional closed Kahler manifolds. A Yang-Mills-Higgs functional to unitary bundles over closed Kahler…
Using mainly analytical arguments, we derive the exact relation $\eta_{max}=\sqrt{3/8\pi}$ for the maximal vacuum value of the Higgs field for static gravitational global monopoles. For this value, the global monopole bifurcates with the de…
Old and new ideas regarding Higgs physics are reviewed. We first summarize the quadratic divergence / hierarchy problem which strongly suggests that the SM Higgs sector will be supplemented by new physics at high scales. We next consider…
Cylindrically-symmetric solutions in Conformal Gravity are investigated and several new solutions are presented and discussed. Among them, a family of vacuum solutions, generalizations of the Melvin solution and cosmic strings of the…
We study non-perturbatively and from first principles the thermodynamics of vortices in 3d U(1) gauge+Higgs theory, or the Ginzburg-Landau model, which has frequently been used as a model for cosmological topological defect formation. We…

We discuss vortex solutions of the abelian Higgs model in the limit of large winding number $n$. We suggest a framework where a topological quantum number $n$ is associated with a ratio of dynamical scales and a systematic expansion in…
