Charge screening in the Abelian Higgs model
Péter Forgács, Árpád Lukács
In the Abelian Higgs model electric (and magnetic) fields of external charges (and currents) are screened by the scalar field. In this contribution, complementing recent investigat…
On non-topological solitons in Abelian gauge theories coupled to U(1)U(1) symmetric scalar fields
Péter Forgács, Árpád Lukács
In a series of recent works Ishihara and Ogawa have investigated non-topological solitons (Q-balls) in a spontaneously broken Abelian gauge theory coupled to two complex scalar fie…
Stabilisation of semilocal strings by dark scalar condensates
Péter Forgács, Árpád Lukács
Semilocal and electroweak strings are well-known to be unstable against unwinding by the condensation of the second Higgs component in their cores. A large class of current models…
Vortices and magnetic bags in Abelian models with extended scalar sectors and some of their applications
Péter Forgács, Árpád Lukács
A detailed study of vortices is presented in Ginzburg-Landau (or Abelian Higgs) models with two complex scalars (order parameters) assuming a general U(1)U(1) symmetric pot…
Scalar field breathers on anti-de Sitter background
Gyula Fodor, Péter Forgács, Philippe Grandclément
We study spatially localized, time-periodic solutions (breathers) of scalar field theories with various self-interacting potentials on Anti-de Sitter (AdS) spacetimes in dimens…
Plane waves as tractor beams
Péter Forgács, Árpád Lukács, Tomasz Romańczukiewicz
It is shown that in a large class of systems plane waves can act as tractor beams: i.e., an incident plane wave can exert a pulling force on the scatterer. The underlying physical…
