Nonabelian Monopoles and the Vortices that Confine Them
Roberto Auzzi, Stefano Bolognesi, Jarah Evslin +1
Nonabelian magnetic monopoles of Goddard-Nuyts-Olive-Weinberg type have recently been shown to appear as the dominant infrared degrees of freedom in a class of softly broken ${\cal…
On the Topology and Flux of T-Dual Manifolds
Peter Bouwknegt, Jarah Evslin, Varghese Mathai
We present a general formula for the topology and H-flux of the T-dual of a type two compactification. Our results apply to T-dualities with respect to any free circle action. In p…
From E_8 to F via T
Jarah Evslin
We argue that T-duality and F-theory appear automatically in the E_8 gauge bundle perspective of M-theory. The 11-dimensional supergravity four-form determines an E_8 bundle. If we…
Nonabelian Superconductors: Vortices and Confinement in SQCD
Roberto Auzzi, Stefano Bolognesi, Jarah Evslin +2
We study nonabelian vortices (flux tubes) in SU(N) gauge theories, which are responsible for the confinement of (nonabelian) magnetic monopoles. In particular a detailed analysis i…
T-Duality: Topology Change from H-flux
P. Bouwknegt, J. Evslin, V. Mathai
T-duality acts on circle bundles by exchanging the first Chern class with the fiberwise integral of the H-flux, as we motivate using E_8 and also using S-duality. We present known…
A Torsion Correction to the RR 4-Form Fieldstrength
Jarah Evslin
The shifted quantization condition of the M-theory 4-form G_4 is well-known. The most naive generalization to type IIA string theory fails, an orientifold counterexample was found…
