Breaking an Abelian gauge symmetry near a black hole horizon

Abstract

Black holes in the Abelian Higgs model coupled to gravity and a negative cosmological constant can superconduct due to a charged scalar condensate outside their horizon.

AI-generated summary

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.
