Phys. Rev. D 34, 1925–1927 (1986)Induced angular momentum on superconducting cosmic stringsReceived 16 May 1986; published in the issue dated 15 September 1986 A simple argument using a bosonization technique is presented to explain that superconducting strings have a net angular momentum carried by fermionic zero modes trapped on a string. The induced angular momentum is shown to be nonvanishing if the scalar phase field φ develops a kink along a string φ(+∞)-φ(-∞)≠0. .AE © 1986 The American Physical Society URL:
