Consistent gravitational anomalies for chiral bosons
Stefano Giaccari, Pietro Menotti
Exact consistent gravitational anomalies for chiral bosons in two dimensions are treated both with the Schwinger-DeWitt regularization and independently through a cohomological pro…
Giant magnons and spiky strings on the conifold
Sergio Benvenuti, Erik Tonni
We find explicit solutions for giant magnons and spiky strings on the squashed three dimensional sphere. For a special value of the squashing parameter the solutions describe strin…
Static Interactions of U(N) non-Abelian Vortices
Minoru Eto
Interactions between non-BPS non-Abelian vortices are studied in non-Abelian U(1) x SU(N) extensions of the Abelian-Higgs model in four dimensions. In addition to the usual type I/…
Dynamics of Strings between Walls
Minoru Eto, Toshiaki Fujimori, Takayuki Nagashima +3
Configurations of vortex-strings stretched between or ending on domain walls were previously found to be 1/4 Bogomol'nyi-Prasad-Sommerfield(BPS) states in N=2 supersymmetric gauge…
A Generalized Construction for Lumps and Non-Abelian Vortices
Walter Vinci
We construct the general vortex solution in a fully-Higgsed, color-flavor locked vacuum of a non-Abelian gauge theory, where the gauge group is taken to be the product of an arbitr…
On the Stability of Non-Abelian Semi-local Vortices
Roberto Auzzi, Minoru Eto, Sven Bjarke Gudnason +2
We study the stability of non-Abelian semi-local vortices based on an N=2 supersymmetric H = [SU(Nc) x U(1)]/Z_Nc = U(Nc) gauge theory with an arbitrary number of flavors (Nf > Nc)…
Quantum Fields on Star Graphs with Bound States at the Vertex
B. Bellazzini, M. Mintchev, P. Sorba
We investigate the propagation of a massless scalar field on a star graph, modeling the junction of quantum wires. The vertex of the graph is represented by a point-like impuri…
Advent of Non-Abelian Vortices and Monopoles-- further thoughts about duality and confinement
Kenichi Konishi
Recent development on non-Abeliann vortices and monopoles is reviewed with an emphasis on their relevance on confinement and duality. A very recent construction of non-Abelian vort…
SO and USp Kahler and Hyper-Kahler Quotients and Lumps
Minoru Eto, Toshiaki Fujimori, Sven Bjarke Gudnason +2
We study non-linear sigma models whose target spaces are the Higgs phases of supersymmetric SO and USp gauge theories by using the Kahler and hyper-Kahler quotient constructions. W…
Weighted power counting and Lorentz violating gauge theories. II: Classification
Damiano Anselmi
We classify the local, polynomial, unitary gauge theories that violate Lorentz symmetry explicitly at high energies and are renormalizable by weighted power counting. We study the…
Weighted power counting and Lorentz violating gauge theories. I: General properties
Damiano Anselmi
We construct local, unitary gauge theories that violate Lorentz symmetry explicitly at high energies and are renormalizable by weighted power counting. They contain higher space de…
Bounding scalar operator dimensions in 4D CFT
Riccardo Rattazzi, Vyacheslav S. Rychkov, Erik Tonni +1
In an arbitrary unitary 4D CFT we consider a scalar operator ϕ, and the operator ϕ^2 defined as the lowest dimension scalar which appears in the OPE ϕ\timesϕwith a nonzero coeffici…
d=4 Attractors, Effective Horizon Radius and Fake Supergravity
S. Ferrara, A. Gnecchi, A. Marrani
We consider extremal black hole attractors (both BPS and non-BPS) for N=3 and N=5 supergravity in d=4 space-time dimensions. Attractors for matter-coupled N=3 theory are similar to…
Surface operators and magnetic degrees of freedom in Yang-Mills theories
A. Di Giacomo, V. I. Zakharov
Magnetic degrees of freedom are manifested through violations of the Bianchi identities and associated with singular fields. Moreover, these singularities should not induce color n…
Flux-Tube Formation and Holographic Tunneling
A. S. Gorsky, V. I. Zakharov
We consider correlator of two concentric Wilson loops, a small and large ones related to the problem of flux-tube formation. There are three mechanisms which can contribute to the…
A large N phase transition in the continuum two dimensional SU(N) X SU(N) principal chiral model
R. Narayanan, H. Neuberger, E. Vicari
It is established by numerical means that the continuum large N principal chiral model in two dimensions has a phase transition in a smoothed two point function at a critical dista…
Domain Walls with Non-Abelian Clouds
Minoru Eto, Toshiaki Fujimori, Muneto Nitta +2
Domain walls in U(N) gauge theories, coupled to Higgs scalar fields with degenerate masses, are shown to possess normalizable non-Abelian Nambu-Goldstone(NG) modes, which we call n…
Theta dependence of SU(N) gauge theories in the presence of a topological term
Ettore Vicari, Haralambos Panagopoulos
We review results concerning the theta dependence of 4D SU(N) gauge theories and QCD, where theta is the coefficient of the CP-violating topological term in the Lagrangian. In part…
Weighted scale invariant quantum field theories
Damiano Anselmi
We study a class of Lorentz violating quantum field theories that contain higher space derivatives, but no higher time derivatives, and become renormalizable in the large N expansi…
Constructing Non-Abelian Vortices with Arbitrary Gauge Groups
Minoru Eto, Toshiaki Fujimori, Sven Bjarke Gudnason +4
We construct the general vortex solution in the fully-Higgsed, color-flavor locked vacuum of a non-Abelian gauge theory, where the gauge group is taken to be the product of an arbi…
Quantum Field Theory on Star Graphs
B. Bellazzini, M. Burrello, M. Mintchev +1
We discuss some basic aspects of quantum fields on star graphs, focusing on boundary conditions, symmetries and scale invariance in particular. We investigate the four-fermion bulk…
Non-Abelian Vortices without Dynamical Abelianization
Daniele Dorigoni, Kenichi Konishi, Keisuke Ohashi
Vortices carrying truly non-Abelian flux moduli, which do not dynamically reduce to Abelian vortices, are found in the context of softly-broken supersymmetric chromody…
