dc.descriptionIn this paper we develop a formalism to describe a superfluid in a gravitational background. This formalism is based on a covariant generalization of the field description for a superconductor in terms of a U(1) spontaneous symmetry breaking. We study the stability of the solutions for a vortexless fluid and the force acting on vortices in the fluid, which is a generalization of the well-known flat space-time Magnus force. To clarify the development we include the explicit discussion of two particular cases, one of them of astrophysical interest.
