SUMMARY:Vortons and their stability - Volkov\, MS (University of Tours)
DTSTART:20121204T153000Z

CONTACT:Mustapha Amrani
DESCRIPTION:We present classical field theory solutions describing station
 ary vortex loops carrying persistent currents and balanced against contrac
 tion by the centrifugal force. Objects of this type\, sometimes called vor
 tons\, may exist in various physical contexts\, ranging from domains of co
 ndensed matter physics described by the non-linear Schroedinger equation a
 nd/or Ginzburg-Landau equations\, till models of high energy physics such 
 as Witten's theory of superconducting cosmic strings. We also analyze the 
 vorton stability\, both at the linear and non-linear levels. \n\n
