Vortex solution in 2+1 dimensional Yang-Mills theory at high temperatures

Abstract

At high temperatures the A_0 component of the Yang--Mills field plays the role of the Higgs field, and the 1-loop potential V(A_0) plays the role of the Higgs potential. We find a new stable vortex solution of the Abrikosov-Nielsen-Olesen type, and discuss its properties and possible implications.
