Index Theorem for non-Supersymmetric Fermions Coupled to a non-Abelian String and Electric Charge Quantization
M. Shifman, A. Yung
Non-Abelian strings are considered in {\em non}-supersymmetric theories with fermions in various appropriate representations of the gauge group U(). We derive the electric charg…
Critical Non-Abelian Vortex in Four Dimensions and Little String Theory
M. Shifman, A. Yung
As was shown recently, non-Abelian vortex strings supported in four-dimensional supersymmetric QCD with the U(2) gauge group and quark multiplets (flavors) bec…
Quantum Deformation of the Effective Theory on Non-Abelian string and 2D-4D correspondence
M. Shifman, A. Yung
We explore non-Abelian strings in the r=N-1 vacuum of N=2 supersymmetric QCD with the gauge group U(N) and N_f flavors of quarks (N_f\geq N), where r is the number of condensed qua…
Simple Models with Non-Abelian Moduli on Topological Defects
M. Shifman
I explain how conventional topological defects -- the Abrikosov-Nielsen-Olesen (ANO) string and domain walls -- can acquire non-Abelian moduli localized on their world sheets. The…
Understanding Confinement in QCD: Elements of a Big Picture
M. Shifman
I give a brief review of advances in the strong interaction theory. This talk was delivered at the Conference in honor of Murray Gell-Mann's 80th birthday, 24-26 February 2010, Sin…
Supersymmetric Solitons and How They Help Us Understand Non-Abelian Gauge Theories
M. Shifman, A. Yung
In the last decade it became clear that methods and techniques based on supersymmetry provide deep insights in quantum chromodynamics and other supersymmetric and non-supersymmetri…
