Abstract

We provide an axiomatic Euclidean field-theoretic treatment of the Meissner and Abelian Higgs effects, which extends our previous method to a fully quantum theoretic model of a gauge field, with U(1) symmetry, coupled to a scalar field. Our main results are that the former effect implies the latter one, and ensues from the condition of off-diagonal long-range order.
