Smat(Ψ, a,Ab) =

where D0Ψ = ∂0Ψ + i(a0 + Ab0)Ψ, ∇a+AbΨ = ∇Ψ + i(a + Ab)Ψ is
the covariant derivative, Ab = b2
(−x2, x1) satisfies curlAb = b > 0and g > 0.
We study the Euler-Lagrange equations of the ZHK action, which is

We want time-independent solutions (Ψ, (A0,A)) of the ZHKequations such that the quantities
ρ = |Ψ|2 J = Im(Ψ∇AΨ)
B = curlA A0
are periodic with respect to a lattice L. Such statesu = (Ψ, (A0,A)) are called Abrikosov lattice states.
These states are more general than requiring Ψ and A to beL-periodic.

Abrikosov lattice solutions on Riemann surfaces
It turns out that (Ψ, (A0,A)) is an Abrikosov lattice state iff Ψ liveson a line bundle over the T2 = R2
L , and A is a connection on it. Thislatter view point generalizes to arbitrary Riemann surfaces, and sodoes the bifurcation result.
Theorem (Existence of a Bifurcation [RS18])Let g > 0 and suppose b satisfies 0 < |2g − b| � 1. Then on aRiemann surface of genus h, as long as the first Chern number n ofthe line bundle satisfies 1 ≤ n ≤ h, there exists an Abrikosov latticestate ub, in a neighbourhood of the normal branch u0.
