The two-dimensional boson-fermion model of high-temperature superconductors, numerically studied by Domanski (Phys. Rev. B v.66, 134512 (2002)) is not a superconductor. The critical temperature of the model is zero for any symmetry of the…
An axion cosmic string is known to be a chiral superconductor when the axion couples to an electrically charged fermion. After the QCD phase transition, a QCD axion string is attached by $N$ domain walls. We would like to elucidate the fate…
