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.…
On Constructing Baby Universes and Black Holes
Tanmay Vachaspati
The creation of spacetimes with horizons is discussed, focussing on baby universes and black holes as examples. There is a complex interplay of quantum theory and General Relativit…
Quantum Radiation from Quantum Gravitational Collapse
Tanmay Vachaspati, Dejan Stojkovic
We study quantum radiation emitted during the collapse of a quantized, gravitating, spherical domain wall. The amount of radiation emitted during collapse now depends on the wavefu…
