Classification of magnetic vortices by angular momentum conservation
Superfluid vortices are quantum excitations carrying a quantized amount of orbital angular momentum in a phase where global symmetry is spontaneously broken. We address a question whether magnetic vortices in superconductors with dynamical gauge fields carry nonzero orbital angular momentum or not....
