Dirichlet Topological Defects
Sean M. Carroll, Mark Trodden
We propose a class of field theories featuring solitonic solutions in which topological defects can end when they intersect other defects of equal or higher dimensionality. Such co…
Cosmic Strings, Zero Modes and SUSY breaking in Nonabelian N=1 Gauge Theories
Stephen C. Davis, Anne C. Davis, Mark Trodden
We investigate the microphysics of cosmic strings in Nonabelian gauge theories with N=1 supersymmetry. We give the vortex solutions in a specific example and demonstrate that fermi…
Supersymmetric Strings and Fermionic Zero Modes
Mark Trodden
I review recent work concerning the microphysics of cosmic string solutions of N=1 supersymmetric gauge field theories.
Microphysics of Gauge Vortices and Baryogenesis
Mark Trodden
I give a brief overview of a novel mechanism for generating the baryon asymmetry of the universe at the electroweak scale. This scenario circumvents the need for a strongly first o…
N=1 Supersymmetric Cosmic Strings
Stephen C. Davis, Anne-Christine Davis, Mark Trodden
We investigate the microphysics of supersymmetric cosmic strings. In particular we focus on the vortices admitted by N=1 supersymmetric abelian Higgs models. We find the vortex sol…
