Electric flux tube solutions in SU(3) gauge theory
Jude Pereira, Tanmay Vachaspati
We consider electric flux tube solutions in SU(3) gauge theory with scalar fields in the fundamental representation. Such solutions can possibly be constructed in two classes, corr…

Quantum uncertainty in the area of a black hole
Maulik Parikh, Jude Pereira
Quantum fluctuations of the spacetime metric induce an uncertainty in the horizon area of a black hole. Working in linearized quantum gravity, we derive the variance in the area of…

Perturbative stability of non-Abelian electric field solutions
Jude Pereira, Tanmay Vachaspati
We consider SU(2) gauge theory with a scalar field in the fundamental representation. The model is known to contain electric field solutions sourced by the scalar field that are di…
