The effect of dark strings on semilocal strings
Dark strings have recently been suggested to exist in new models of dark matter that explain the excessive electronic production in the galaxy. We study the interaction of these dark strings with semilocal strings which are solutions of the bosonic sector of the Standard Model in the limit sin θw = 1, where θw is the Weinberg angle. While embedded Abelian– Higgs strings exist for generic values...
متن کاملSemilocal and Electroweak Strings
We review a class of non-topological defects in the standard electroweak model, and their implications. Starting with the semilocal string, which provides a counterexample to many well known properties of topological vortices, we discuss electroweak strings and their stability with and without external influences such as magnetic fields. Other known properties of electroweak strings and monopol...
متن کاملSemilocal Strings and Monopoles
A variation on the abelian Higgs model, with SU(2) global × U(1) local symmetry broken to U(1) global , was recently shown by Vachaspati and Achúcarro [1] to admit stable, finite energy cosmic string solutions even though the mani-fold of minima of the potential energy does not have non-contractible loops. Here we describe the most general solutions in the Bogomol'nyi limit, both in the single ...
متن کاملIntercommutation of semilocal strings and Skyrmions.
We study the intercommuting of semilocal strings and Skyrmions for a wide range of internal parameters, velocities, and intersection angles by numerically evolving the equations of motion. We find that the collisions of strings and strings, strings and Skyrmions, and Skyrmions and Skyrmions all lead to intercommuting for a wide range of parameters. Even the collisions of unstable Skyrmions and ...
متن کاملSkyrmions and Semilocal Strings in Cosmology
It has been pointed out that cosmic string solutions can exist in gauge field theories with broken symmetry even when π1(G/H) is trivial. The stability of such semilocal defects is not guaranteed by topology and depends on dynamical considerations. In the literature it has been tacitly assumed that if stable, such strings would form in the Early Universe in a manner analogous to the formation o...
