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…
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…
Dynamics of Strings between Domain Walls
Minoru Eto, Toshiaki Fujimori, Takayuki Nagashima +3
Configurations of vortex-strings stretched between or ending on domain walls were previously found to be 1/4 BPS states. Among zero modes of string positions, the center of mass of…
Multiple Layer Structure of Non-Abelian Vortex
Minoru Eto, Toshiaki Fujimori, Takayuki Nagashima +3
Bogomol'nyi-Prasad-Sommerfield (BPS) vortices in U(N) gauge theories have two layers corresponding to non-Abelian and Abelian fluxes, whose widths depend nontrivially on the ratio…
