Rigorous Limits on the Interaction Strength in Quantum Field Theory

Francesco Caracciolo, Slava Rychkov

We derive model-independent, universal upper bounds on the Operator Product Expansion (OPE) coefficients in unitary 4-dimensional Conformal Field Theories. The method uses the conf…

On Confinement Index

Kenichi Konishi, Yutaka Ookouchi

The smallest integer t for which the Wilson loop W^{t} fails to exhibit area law is known as the confinement index of a given field theory. The confinement index provides us with s…

Chiral symmetry breaking and theta vacuum structure in QCD

G. Morchio, F. Strocchi

The solution of the axial U(1) problem, the role of the topology of the gauge group in forcing the breaking of axial symmetry in any irreducible representation of the observable al…

Non-Abelian Chern-Simons vortices with generic gauge groups

Sven Bjarke Gudnason

We study non-Abelian Chern-Simon BPS-saturated vortices enjoying N=2 supersymmetry in d=2+1 dimensions, with generic gauge groups of the form U(1) x G', with G' being a simple grou…

Fractional Vortices and Lumps

Minoru Eto, Toshiaki Fujimori, Sven Bjarke Gudnason +5

We study what might be called fractional vortices, vortex configurations with the minimum winding from the viewpoint of their topological stability, but which are characterized by…

Entanglement entropy of two disjoint intervals in conformal field theory

Pasquale Calabrese, John Cardy, Erik Tonni

We study the entanglement of two disjoint intervals in the conformal field theory of the Luttinger liquid (free compactified boson). Trρ_A^n for any integer n is calculated as the…

Unconstrained Higher Spins of Mixed Symmetry. II. Fermi Fields

Andrea Campoleoni, Dario Francia, Jihad Mourad +1

This paper is a sequel of arXiv:0810.4350 [hep-th], and is also devoted to the local "metric-like" unconstrained Lagrangians and field equations for higher-spin fields of mixed sym…

Non-Abelian Vortices in SO(N) and USp(N) Gauge Theories

Minoru Eto, Toshiaki Fujimori, Sven Bjarke Gudnason +5

Non-Abelian BPS vortices in SO(N) x U(1) and USp(2N) x U(1) gauge theories are constructed in maximally color-flavor locked vacua. We study in detail their moduli and transformatio…

Dynamics of Strings between Domain 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 BPS states. Among zero modes of string positions, the center of mass of…

Multiple Layer Structure of Non-Abelian Vortex

Minoru Eto, Toshiaki Fujimori, Takayuki Nagashima +3

Bogomol'nyi-Prasad-Sommerfield (BPS) vortices in U(N) gauge theories have two layers corresponding to non-Abelian and Abelian fluxes, whose widths depend nontrivially on the ratio…
