Abstract:
We examine the claim of Chamblin et. al. that extreme black holes cannot support abelian Higgs hair. We provide evidence that contradicts this claim and discuss reasons for this discrepancy.
  • black hole: hair
  • Higgs model: abelian
  • vortex: U(1)
  • horizon
  • boundary condition
  • numerical calculations
