Effective Action of Domain Wall Networks

Minoru Eto, Toshiaki Fujimori, Takayuki Nagashima +3

U(Nc) gauge theory with Nf fundamental scalars admits BPS junctions of domain walls. When the networks/webs of these walls contain loops, their size moduli give localized massless…

Supersymmetric Completion of an R^2 Term in Five-Dimensional Supergravity

Kentaro Hanaki, Keisuke Ohashi, Yuji Tachikawa

We analyze the structure of a particular higher derivative correction of five-dimensional ungauged and gauged supergravity with eight supercharges. Specifically, we determine all t…

Non-Abelian duality from vortex moduli: a dual model of color-confinement

Minoru Eto, Luca Ferretti, Kenichi Konishi +5

It is argued that the dual transformation of non-Abelian monopoles occurring in a system with gauge symmetry breaking G -> H is to be defined by setting the low-energy H system in…

Universal Reconnection of Non-Abelian Cosmic Strings

Minoru Eto, Koji Hashimoto, Giacomo Marmorini +3

We show that local/semilocal strings in Abelian/non-Abelian gauge theories with critical couplings always reconnect classically in collision, by using moduli space approximation. T…

Solitons in Supersymmetric Gauge Theories: Moduli Matrix Approach

Minoru Eto, Youichi Isozumi, Muneto Nitta +2

We review our recent works on solitons in U(Nc) gauge theories with Nf (>Nc) Higgs fields in the fundamental representation, which possess eight supercharges. The moduli matrix is…

Non-Abelian Vortices of Higher Winding Numbers

Minoru Eto, Kenichi Konishi, Giacomo Marmorini +4

We make a detailed study of the moduli space of winding number two (k=2) axially symmetric vortices (or equivalently, of co-axial composite of two fundamental vortices), occurring…
