Domain walls with non-Abelian orientational moduli
Minoru Eto, Toshiaki Fujimori, Muneto Nitta +2
Domain walls with non-Abelian orientational moduli are constructed in U(N) gauge theories coupled to Higgs scalar fields with degenerate masses. The associated global symmetry is b…
Instabilities of Non-Abelian Vortices in Dense QCD
Minoru Eto, Muneto Nitta, Naoki Yamamoto
We construct a low-energy effective theory describing non-Abelian vortices in the color superconducting quark matter under stress. We demonstrate that all the vortices are radicall…
Color Magnetic Flux Tubes in Dense QCD. II: Effective World-Sheet Theory
Minoru Eto, Eiji Nakano, Muneto Nitta
Color magnetic flux tubes appear in the color-flavor locked phase of high density QCD, which exhibits color superconductivity as well as superfluidity. They are non-Abelian superfl…
Color Magnetic Flux Tubes in Dense QCD
Minoru Eto, Muneto Nitta
QCD is expected to be in the color-flavor locking phase in high baryon density, which exhibits color superconductivity. The most fundamental topological objects in the color superc…
Fractional Vortices and Lumps
Minoru Eto, Toshiaki Fujimori, Sven Bjarke Gudnason +5
We study what might be called fractional vortices, vortex configurations with the minimum winding from the viewpoint of their topological stability, but which are characterized by…
Non-Abelian Vortices in SO(N) and USp(N) Gauge Theories
Minoru Eto, Toshiaki Fujimori, Sven Bjarke Gudnason +5
Non-Abelian BPS vortices in SO(N) x U(1) and USp(2N) x U(1) gauge theories are constructed in maximally color-flavor locked vacua. We study in detail their moduli and transformatio…
