Abstract

We conjecture that the mean-field model of superconducting vortices given in [10] is ill-posed wherever the electric current j has some component in the same direction as the vorticity vector ? (which gives the average density and direction of the superconducting vortices). The conjecture is illustrated with a linear stability analysis of a certain solution to the model. A regularised model is then proposed, and this is used to demonstrate the instability of force-free steady states in a certain geometry.
