Low energy dynamics of gapless and quasi-gapless modes of vortices in superfluid He-B
Adam J Peterson, Mikhail Shifman
We discuss the low energy effective dynamics of gapless excitations of the mass vortices of systems similar to the Ginzburg-Landau description of superfluid helium-3 in the bulk B…
New and Old about Renormalons: in Memoriam Kolya Uraltsev
M. Shifman
I summarize what we know of renormalons from the 1970s and 80s: their uses and theoretical status. It is emphasized that renormalons in QCD are closely related to the Wilsonean ope…
Degeneracy between Abelian and Non-Abelian Strings
Sergey Monin, M. Shifman
In a model that supports both Abelian (Abrikosov-Nielsen-Olesen) and non-Abelian strings we analyze the parameter space to find examples in which these strings not only coexist but…
Remarks on Adjoint QCD with k Flavors, k>= 2
M. Shifman
I summarize what we know of adjoint QCD. Some observations (albeit very simple) are new.
Twisted-Mass Potential on the Non-Abelian String World Sheet Induced by Bulk Masses
Pavel A. Bolokhov, Mikhail Shifman, Alexei Yung
We derive the twisted-mass potential in N=(2,2) CP(N-1) theory on the world sheet of the non-Abelian string from the bulk N=2 theory with massive (s)quarks by determining the profi…
Revisiting the Faddeev-Skyrme Model and Hopf Solitons
A. Gorsky, M. Shifman, A. Yung
We observe that the Faddeev-Skyrme model emerges as a low-energy limit of scalar QED with two charged scalar fields and a selfinteraction potential of a special form (inspired by s…
