Quantum Exact Non-Abelian Vortices in Non-relativistic Theories
Muneto Nitta, Shun Uchino, Walter Vinci
Non-Abelian vortices arise when a non-Abelian global symmetry is exact in the ground state but spontaneously broken in the vicinity of their cores. In this case, there appear (non-…
Non-Abelian Vortices with an Aharonov-Bohm Effect
Jarah Evslin, Kenichi Konishi, Muneto Nitta +2
The interplay of gauge dynamics and flavor symmetries often leads to remarkably subtle phenomena in the presence of soliton configurations. Non-Abelian vortices -- vortex solutions…
Supersymmetry Breaking on Gauged Non-Abelian Vortices
Kenichi Konishi, Muneto Nitta, Walter Vinci
There are a large number of systems characterized by a completely broken gauge symmetry, but with an unbroken global color-flavor diagonal symmetry, i.e., systems in the so-called…
Decomposing Instantons in Two Dimensions
Muneto Nitta, Walter Vinci
We study BPS string-like solutions in the 3+1 dimensional gauged CP(1) non-linear sigma model. The same analysis can be applied to study instantons in 2 euclidean dimensions. We us…
Quantum Dynamics of Low-Energy Theory on Semilocal Non-Abelian Strings
Peter Koroteev, Mikhail Shifman, Walter Vinci +1
Recently a low-energy effective theory on non-Abelian semilocal vortices in SQCD with the U(N) gauge group and N + \tilde{N} quark flavors was obtained in field theory arXiv:1104.2…
Effective World-Sheet Theory for Non-Abelian Semilocal Strings in N = 2 Supersymmetric QCD
M. Shifman, W. Vinci, A. Yung
We consider non-Abelian semilocal strings (vortices, or vortex-strings) arising in N=2 supersymmetric U(N) gauge theory with Nf=N+Ñ matter hypermultiplets in the fundamental repres…
