Non-Abelian duality from vortex moduli: a dual model of color-confinement

Minoru Eto, Luca Ferretti, Kenichi Konishi +5

It is argued that the dual transformation of non-Abelian monopoles occurring in a system with gauge symmetry breaking G -> H is to be defined by setting the low-energy H system in…

Bosonization and Scale Invariance on Quantum Wires

B. Bellazzini, M. Mintchev, P. Sorba

We develop a systematic approach to bosonization and vertex algebras on quantum wires of the form of star graphs. The related bosonic fields propagate freely in the bulk of the gra…

Universal Reconnection of Non-Abelian Cosmic Strings

Minoru Eto, Koji Hashimoto, Giacomo Marmorini +3

We show that local/semilocal strings in Abelian/non-Abelian gauge theories with critical couplings always reconnect classically in collision, by using moduli space approximation. T…

Non-Abelian Vortices of Higher Winding Numbers

Minoru Eto, Kenichi Konishi, Giacomo Marmorini +4

We make a detailed study of the moduli space of winding number two (k=2) axially symmetric vortices (or equivalently, of co-axial composite of two fundamental vortices), occurring…

Quantum Fields on Star Graphs

B. Bellazzini, M. Mintchev

We construct canonical quantum fields which propagate on a star graph modeling a quantum wire. The construction uses a deformation of the algebra of canonical commutation relations…

Liouville field theory with heavy charges. II. The conformal boundary case

Pietro Menotti, Erik Tonni

We develop a general technique for computing functional integrals with fixed area and boundary length constraints. The correct quantum dimensions for the vertex functions are recov…

Liouville field theory with heavy charges. I. The pseudosphere

Pietro Menotti, Erik Tonni

We work out the perturbative expansion of quantum Liouville theory on the pseudosphere starting from the semiclassical limit of a background generated by heavy charges. By solving…

Higher-Spin Geometry and String Theory

D. Francia, A. Sagnotti

The theory of freely-propagating massless higher spins is usually formulated via gauge fields and parameters subject to trace constraints. We summarize a proposal allowing to foreg…

D1-D5 black hole microstate counting from supergravity

Vyacheslav. S. Rychkov

We quantize the moduli space of regular D1-D5 microstates, directly from Type IIB SUGRA. The moduli space is parametrized by a smooth closed non-selfintersecting curve in four dime…
