We investigate D-dimensional atomic Bose-Einstein condensates in a hypercylindrical trap with a vortex core along the z-axis and quantized circulation $\hbar m$. We analytically approximate the hypercylindrical Gross-Pitaevskii equation using dimensional perturbation theory, where the perturbation parameter is $\delta=1/(D+2|m|-3)$. We analyze lower effective dimensions due to trap anisotropy, and we compute properties of vortices in higher dimensions motivated by the study of synthetic dimensions, where additional dimensions can be simulated experimentally, and by holographic duality, where a higher-dimensional gravitational model corresponds to a lower-dimensional quantum model. We derive zeroth-order ($\delta \to 0$) semiclassical approximations for the condensate density, energy, chemical potential, and critical vortex rotation speed in arbitrary dimensions. In the zeroth-order approximation, we observe crossings between energy levels for different dimensions as a function of interaction strength and anisotropy parameters. |
