Time-Dependent Tunneling in the Thin-Barrier Limit
Tanmay Vachaspati, Frank Wilczek, Zara Yu
The usual WKB analysis for quantum tunneling applies when the tunneling action is large, as it is for tall, wide potential barriers. In contrast we analyze tunneling when the actio…
Outcomes of Grand Unified Symmetry Breaking
Harish Hemming, Tanmay Vachaspati, Anja Wachowitz
We numerically study the outcome of symmetry breaking motivated by Grand Unified models. Our results show the formation of biased domain walls for a range of parameters together wi…
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…
