Outcomes of Grand Unified Symmetry Breaking
Harish Hemming, Tanmay Vachaspati, Anja Wachowitz
The paper numerically investigates symmetry breaking in Grand Unified models, showing that biased domain walls and magnetic monopoles form and interact, leading to phenomena such a…
Domain walls and magnetic monopoles in Grand Unified Models
Harish Hemming, Tanmay Vachaspati, Anja Wachowitz
Motivated by Grand Unification, we study the formation of magnetic monopoles in an SU(3) non-Abelian gauge theory. We find that the number density of magnetic monopoles depends cri…
Production of global vortices with quantum mediation
Omer Albayrak, Tanmay Vachaspati
We study global vortex production in (numerical) scattering experiments when the scatterer and the vortex degrees of freedom interact only due to intermediary quantum variables. We…
Electric flux tube solutions in SU(3) gauge theory
Jude Pereira, Tanmay Vachaspati
We consider electric flux tube solutions in SU(3) gauge theory with scalar fields in the fundamental representation. Such solutions can possibly be constructed in two classes, corr…
Perturbative stability of non-Abelian electric field solutions
Jude Pereira, Tanmay Vachaspati
We consider SU(2) gauge theory with a scalar field in the fundamental representation. The model is known to contain electric field solutions sourced by the scalar field that are di…
Spectra of magnetic fields from electroweak symmetry breaking
Tanmay Vachaspati, Axel Brandenburg
We characterize magnetic fields produced during electroweak symmetry breaking by non-dynamical numerical simulations based on the Kibble mechanism. The generated magnetic fields we…
