Geometrically expanding the BPS vortex of a non-canonical multi-field theory

Abstract

Considering a non-canonical multi-field theory, we propose a mechanism of geometric expansion for Abrikosov-Nielsen-Olesen (ANO) vortices. One builds the general setup adopting a non-canonical O(3)-sigma model, non-minimally coupled through an anomalous magnetic dipole interaction to a gauge and real scalar field. By embracing a hyperbolic non-canonical extension, one finds that self-dual vortex configurations undergo geometric expansion, deforming ANO-like vortices into disk-like structures, mitigating their energy, and generating concentric energy rings around the core. Furthermore, these vortices exhibit quantized magnetic flux and degenerate solutions. Finally, we highlight that the analyzed vortices carry energy below the corresponding magnetic flux while preserving a singularity at their origin.
