Cosmological Implications of the Slingshot Effect: Gravitational Waves, Primordial Black Holes and Dark Matter

Maximilian Bachmaier, Gia Dvali, Juan Sebastián Valbuena-Bermúdez +1

In this paper, we explore the implications of the so-called slingshot effect. It represents a rather general phenomenon occurring when a localized source, such as a monopole, quark…

From BPS geodesics to mode-driven dynamics in the scattering of multiple BPS vortices

Alberto Alonso-Izquierdo, Maximilian Bachmaier, Andrzej Wereszczynski

We analyze how the geodesic motion in the 3- and 4-vortex sectors of the Abelian-Higgs model at critical coupling is deformed by the excitation of a massive bound mode. We find tha…

Witten Effect in -Form Description of -vacua

Maximilian Bachmaier, Gia Dvali, Juan Sebastián Valbuena-Bermúdez

The -vacua of a gauge theory admit an equivalent formulation as vacua of a massless Chern-Simons -form, which originate from the topological susceptibility of the vacuum. Thi…

Resonance phenomena in vortex-antivortex collisions

Maximilian Bachmaier, Andrzej Wereszczynski

In this work, we provide a full map of scattering scenarios between a Nielsen-Olesen vortex and antivortex. Importantly, in the deep type II regime, such a collision reveals a chao…

Simulations of Magnetic Monopole Collisions

Maximilian Bachmaier, Gia Dvali, Josef Seitz +1

In this paper, we investigate the scattering of BPS magnetic monopoles through numerical simulations. We present an ansatz for various multi-monopole configurations suitable for an…

Confinement Slingshot and Gravitational Waves

Maximilian Bachmaier, Gia Dvali, Juan Sebastián Valbuena-Bermúdez +1

In this paper, we introduce and numerically simulate a quantum field theoretic phenomenon called the gauge ``slingshot" effect and study its production of gravitational waves. The…

Radiation Emission during the Erasure of Magnetic Monopoles

Maximilian Bachmaier, Gia Dvali, Juan Sebastián Valbuena-Bermúdez

We study the interactions between 't Hooft-Polyakov magnetic monopoles and the domain walls formed by the same order parameter within an gauge theory. We observe that the c…
