Dynamics of () Domain Walls in SU(N) Gauge Theories
Sayanjit Banerjee, Sanatan Digal, Sumit Shaw
We study collisions of domain walls in gauge theories using the Polyakov-loop effective potential models. We find that string junctions play a crucial role in the dynamics…

Metastable and critical-bubble branches of Coleman--Weinberg monopoles
Sumit Shaw
We revisit the Coleman--Weinberg monopole problem introduced by Kiselev, where radiative symmetry breaking makes the broken vacuum metastable. We construct the associated static mo…

Topological Strings in SU(3) Gauge Theory at Finite Temperature
Sanatan Digal, Vinod Mamale, Sumit Shaw
We investigate string configurations in the deconfined phase of SU(3) gauge theory, which arise from the spontaneous breaking of the center symmetry. These configurations for…
