Non-Abelian vortices in gauge theory and non-invertible symmetries

Yoshihiko Abe, Tetsutaro Higaki, Kazuya Murakami +2

We construct finite-tension non-Abelian vortex solutions in a renormalizable -dimensional gauge theory Higgsed to the tetrahedral group by a Higgs field in the…

Lazarides-Shafi axion models as Dijkgraaf-Witten theories

Motoo Suzuki, Ryo Yokokura

Axion models often face the domain wall problem, which threatens the standard big-bang cosmology. The Lazarides-Shafi mechanism attempts to resolve this by identifying degenerate v…

Selection rules of topological solitons from non-invertible symmetries in axion electrodynamics

Yoshimasa Hidaka, Muneto Nitta, Ryo Yokokura

We investigate a relation between non-invertible symmetries and selection rules of topological solitons such as axionic domain walls and magnetic strings in the -dimensional…

Spin Statistics and Surgeries of Topological Solitons in QCD Matter in Magnetic Field

Yuki Amari, Muneto Nitta, Ryo Yokokura

The ground state of QCD with two flavors (up and down quarks) at finite baryon density in sufficiently strong magnetic field is in a form of either a chiral soliton lattice(CSL), a…

Stringy constraints on primordial electromagnetic fields in axion inflation

Hajime Otsuka, Ryo Yokokura

We study primordial electromagnetic fields in effective actions of string theory. In contrast to a conventional scenario of producing primordial electromagnetic fields induced by t…

Generalized chiral instabilities, linking numbers, and non-invertible symmetries

Naoki Yamamoto, Ryo Yokokura

We demonstrate a universal mechanism of a class of instabilities in infrared regions for massless Abelian -form gauge theories with topological interactions, which we call gener…
