Magnetic Instability for Charged Spin-1 Fields Assuming that there is an external magnetic field in the z-direction, one mode becomes unstable when with corresponding eigenvector: “Zero-mode problem” for non-Abelian gauge fields whose solution is the formation of a vortex condensate of charged spin-1 fields.

Solution of the Linear Condensate Equation The linear minimum equation for G* around the critical field is where The solution is given by
Vortex Solution From the experience with conventional type II superconductivity, it is known that the inhomogeneous condensate solutions prefer periodic lattice domains to minimize the energy. Then, putting on periodicity in the y-direction: The periodicity is also transferred to the x-direction: Vortex lattice, First image1967 Then, the general solution is given by the superposition: The vortex lattice induces a magnetic field that forms a fluxoid along the z-direction. The magnetic flux through each periodicity cell in the vortex lattice is quantized
Cooper Pairing and Neutrality Conditions • The optimal Cooper pairing occurs when • Matter inside a star should be electrically neutral to guarantee the star stability and to minimize the system energy • There are no enough electrons in β equilibrium to balance the charge deficit Cooper pairing is consequently distorted by the Fermi sphere mismatch.

Difficulties of the Standard Magnetar Model Supernova remnants associated with magnetarsshould be an order of magnitude more energetic. Recent calculations indicate that their energies are similar. When a magnetar spins down, the rotational energy output should go into a magnetized wind of ultra-relativistic electrons and positrons that radiate via synchrotron emission. So far nobody has detected the expected luminous pulsar wind nebulae around magnetars. Possible Alternative: B induced by the CS core.
