Generalized Semilocal Theories and Higher Hopf Maps
Mark Hindmarsh, Richard Holman, Thomas W. Kephart +1
\def\mon{S^3\stackrel{S^1}{\rightarrow}S^2} \def\inst{S^7\stackrel{S^3}{\rightarrow}S^4} \def\octo{S^{15}\stackrel{S^7}{\rightarrow}S^8} In semilocal theories, the vacuum manifold…
Semiclassical Gravity and Invisible Axions
R. Holman, T. W. Kephart, Soo-Jong REY
We show that charged Eguchi-Hanson instantons provide a concrete and calculable new source of intrinsic Peccei-Quinn symmetry breaking by quantum gravity. The size of this breaking…
How Efficient Is The Langacker-Pi Mechanism of Monopole Annihilation?
R. Holman, T. W. B. Kibble, Soo-Jong Rey
We investigate the dynamics of monopole annihilation by the Langacker-Pi mechanism. We find taht considerations of causality, flux-tube energetics and the friction from Aharonov-Bo…
