Erasure of Strings and Vortexes
Gia Dvali, Juan Sebastián Valbuena-Bermúdez
The interaction of defects can lead to a phenomenon of erasure. During this process, a lower-dimensional object gets absorbed and dissolved by a higher-dimensional one. The phenome…
Perturbative Understanding of Non-Perturbative Processes and Quantumization versus Classicalization
Gia Dvali, Lukas Eisemann
In some instances of study of quantum evolution of classical backgrounds it is considered inevitable to resort to non-perturbative methods at the price of treating the system semic…
Dynamics of Confined Monopoles and Similarities with Confined Quarks
Gia Dvali, Juan Valbuena-Bermudez, Michael Zantedeschi
In this work, we study the annihilation of a pair of `t Hooft-Polyakov monopoles due to confinement by a string. We analyze the regime in which the scales of monopoles and strings…
Strong- with and without gravity
Gia Dvali
Conventionally, the strong- problem is assumed to be a naturalness puzzle, with the axion solution sometimes viewed as an ad hoc fix. Gravity is either ignored or taken as a th…
