Ghost-Free Stable Minkowski Vacua in Lovelock Compactifications on Irreducible Symmetric Spaces
Keisuke Ohashi
We study the compactification of higher-dimensional Lovelock gravity on compact irreducible symmetric spaces, focusing on conditions under which a physically healthy four-dimension…

Fractional instantons in 2d model and 4d Yang-Mills theory with 't Hooft twists
Yui Hayashi, Tatsuhiro Misumi, Muneto Nitta +2
We derive the explicit formula for fractional BPS lumps (or fractional instantons) in the nonlinear sigma model on a two-dimensional torus under various shift-c…

String junctions in flag manifold sigma model
Yuki Amari, Toshiaki Fujimori, Muneto Nitta +1
We numerically construct a stable three-string junction of Y-shape in a flag manifold nonlinear sigma model on .
