contents Since the Ginzburg-Landau theory is concerned with macroscopic phenomena, and gravity affects how objects interact at the macroscopic level. It becomes relevant to study the Ginzburg-Landau theory in curved space, that is, in the presence of gravity. In this paper, some existence theorems are established for the vortex solutions of the magnetic Ginzburg-Landau theory coupled to the Einstein equations. First, when the coupling constant λ=1, we get a self-dual structure from the Ginzburg-Landau theory, then a partial differential equation with a gravitational term that has power-type singularities is deduced from the coupled system. To overcome the difficulty arising from the orders of singularities at the vortices, a constraint minimization method and a monotone iteration method are employed. We also show that the quantized flux and total curvature are determined by the number of vortices. Second, when the coupling constant λ>0, we use a suitable ansatz to get the radially symmetric case for the magnetic Ginzburg-Landau theory in curved space. The existence of the symmetric vortex solutions are obtained through combining a two-step iterative shooting argument and a fixed-point theorem approach. Some fundamental properties of the solutions are established via applying a series of analysis techniques.
