Type I-II/II-I vortices from dimension-six self-interaction
A. Alonso-Izquierdo, A. González-Parra, K. Slawinska +2
We show that adding a dimension-six self-interaction to the Abelian-Higgs or Ginzburg Landau model results in a remarkable and rich structure of multi-vortex solutions. Besides the…
Type I/II Vortex Dynamics With Excited Normal Modes
Steffen Krusch, Morgan Rees, Thomas Winyard
We investigate the effects of excited normal modes on vortex dynamics in the Abelian Higgs model in the type I (static attraction) and type II (static repulsion) regimes. We demons…
Short range intervortex forces
Martin Speight, Thomas Winyard
An explicit formula for the interaction energy of vortices in the abelian Higgs (or Ginzburg-Landau) model is derived, valid in the regime where all vortices are close to one a…
A model for gauged skyrmions with low binding energies
Josh Cork, Derek Harland, Thomas Winyard
We consider gauged skyrmions with boundary conditions which break the gauge from to in models derived from Yang-Mills theory. After deriving genera…
A consistent two-skyrmion configuration space from instantons
Chris Halcrow, Thomas Winyard
To study a nuclear system in the Skyrme model one must first construct a space of low energy Skyrme configurations. However, there is no mathematical definition of this configurati…
Skyrmion and Baby Skyrmion Formation from Domain Walls
Thomas Winyard
We numerically simulate the formation of -dimensional baby Skyrmions and -dimensional Skyrmions from domain wall collisions. It has been suggested that Skyrmi…
Baby Skyrmions in AdS
Matthew Elliot-Ripley, Thomas Winyard
We study the baby Skyrme model in a pure AdS background without a mass term. The tail decays and scalings of massless radial solutions are demonstrated to take a similar form to th…
Hyperbolic Skyrmions
Thomas Winyard
We investigate SU(2) Skyrmions in hyperbolic space, by computing numerical solutions of the nonlinear field equation. We first demonstrate the link between increasing curvature and…
Broken planar Skyrmions -- statics and dynamics
Paul Jennings, Thomas Winyard
The broken planar Skyrme model is a theory that breaks global O(3) symmetry to the dihedral group D_N. It has been shown that the single soliton solution is formed of N constituent…
