Fermionic Vacuum Energy from Abelian-Higgs Vortex Configurations
Abstract
The vacuum energy of a spinor field in the background of a Abelian-Higgs vortex configuration is calculated numerically using the method of representing the vacuum energy in terms of the Jost function on the imaginary momentum axis. With this method well convergent sums and integrals emerge which allow for an efficient calculation.
