Abstract
We show that a superconducting vortex in underdoped high T-c supercond uctors could have an antiferromagnetic core. This type of vortex confi guration arises as a topological solution in the recently constructed SO(5) nonlinear a model and in Landau-Ginzburg theory with competing a ntiferromagnetic and superconducting order parameters. Experimental de tection of this type of vortex by muon spin resonance and neutron scat tering is proposed.
