Formation of Non-Abelian Monopoles Connected by Strings
Yifung Ng, T. W. B. Kibble, Tanmay Vachaspati
We study the formation of monopoles and strings in a model where SU(3) is spontaneously broken to U(2)=[SU(2)\times U(1)]/\ZZ_2, and then to U(1). The first symmetry breaking gener…
Creating kinks from particles
Sourish Dutta, D. A. Steer, Tanmay Vachaspati
We study the creation of solitons from particles, using the model as a prototype. We consider the scattering of small, identical, wave pulses, that are equivalent to a seque…
Fermions on one or fewer Kinks
Yi-Zen Chu, Tanmay Vachaspati
We find the full spectrum of fermion bound states on a Z_2 kink. In addition to the zero mode, there are int[2 m_f/m_s] bound states, where m_f is the fermion and m_s the scalar ma…
Quantized Non-Abelian Monopoles on S^3
Irit Maor, Harsh Mathur, Tanmay Vachaspati
A possible electric-magnetic duality suggests that the confinement of non-Abelian electric charges manifests itself as a perturbative quantum effect for the dual magnetic charges.…
Domain Wall Solutions
Tanmay Vachaspati
I describe domain walls and domain wall lattices in non-Abelian models.
