    Non-Abrikosov Vortex and Topological Knot in Two-gap Superconductor

    Full text link
    We establish the existence of topologically stable knot in two-gap superconductor whose topology π3(S2)\pi_3(S^2) is fixed by the Chern-Simon index of the electromagnetic potential. We present a helical magnetic vortex solution in Ginzburg-Landau theory of two-gap superconductor which has a non-vanishing condensate at the core, and identify the knot as a twisted magnetic vortex ring made of the helical vortex. We discuss how the knot can be constructed in the recent two-gap MgB2\rm MgB_2 superconductor.Comment: 4 pages, 3 figure

    Bargmann-Wigner Formulation and Superradiance Problem of Bosons and Fermions in Kerr Space-time

    Full text link
    The superradiance phenomena of massive bosons and fermions in the Kerr spacetime are studied in the Bargmann-Wigner formulation. In case of bi-spinor, the four independent components spinors correspond to the four bosonic freedom: one scalar and three vectors uniquely. The consistent description of the Bargmann-Wigner equations between fermions and bosons shows that the superradiance of the type with positive energy (0<ω)(0<\omega) and negative momentum near horizon (pH<0)(p_{\rm H}<0) is shown not to occur. On the other hand, the superradiance of the type with negative energy (ω<0)(\omega<0) and positive momentum near horizon (0<pH)(0<p_{\rm H}) is still possible for both scalar bosons and spinor fermions
