Phys. Rev. D 64, 044001 (2001) [6 pages]Classical solutions in the Einstein-Born-Infeld-Abelian-Higgs modelReceived 16 March 2001; published 5 July 2001 We consider the classical equations of the Born-Infeld-Abelian-Higgs model (with and without coupling to gravity) in an axially symmetric ansatz. A numerical analysis of the equations reveals that the (gravitating) Nielsen-Olesen vortices are smoothly deformed by the Born-Infeld interaction, characterized by a coupling constant β2, and that these solutions cease to exist at a critical value of β2. When the critical value is approached, the length of the magnetic field on the symmetry axis becomes infinite. © 2001 The American Physical Society URL:
