Breaking an Abelian gauge symmetry near a black hole horizon
Indexed inarxivcrossref
Abstract
I argue that coupling the Abelian Higgs model to gravity plus a negative cosmological constant leads to black holes which spontaneously break the gauge invariance via a charged scalar condensate slightly outside their horizon. This suggests that black holes can superconduct.
