Fluids of Vortices And Dark Matter
Filipe Bonjour, Patricio S. Letelier · arXiv (Cornell University) · 2000
By considering full-field string solutions of the Abelian--Higgs model, we modify the model of a fluid of strings (which is composed of Nambu strings) to obtain a model for a ``fluid of vortices.'' With this model, and following closely Soleng's proposal of a fluid of strings as the source of a Milgrom-type correction to the Newton dynamics, we determine quantitatively the modified dynamics generated by a static, spherical fluid of vortices.
