Kinky Brane Worlds

Nuno D. Antunes, Edmund J. Copeland, Mark Hindmarsh +1

We present a toy model for five-dimensional heterotic M-theory where bulk three-branes, originating in 11 dimensions from M five-branes, are modelled as kink solutions of a bulk sc…

The role of point-like topological excitations at criticality: from vortices to global monopoles

Nuno D. Antunes, Luis M. Bettencourt, Martin Kunz

We determine the detailed thermodynamic behavior of vortices in the O(2) scalar model in 2D and of global monopoles in the O(3) model in 3D. We construct new numerical techniques,…
