Dynamical Simulation of Non-Abelian Cosmic Strings
We describe a method for simulating the dynamics of an S3 cosmic string network. We use a lattice Monte Carlo to generate initial conditions for the network, which subsequently is allowed to relax continuously according to a simplified model of string dynamics. The dynamics incorporates some novel features which, to our knowledge, have not been studied in previous numerical simulations: The exi...
متن کاملUniversal reconnection of non-Abelian cosmic strings.
We show that local and semilocal strings in Abelian and non-Abelian gauge theories with critical couplings always reconnect classically in collision, by using moduli space approximation. The moduli matrix formalism explicitly identifies a well-defined set of the vortex moduli parameters. Our analysis of generic geodesic motion in terms of those shows right-angle scattering in head-on collision ...
متن کاملReconnection of Non-Abelian Cosmic Strings
Cosmic strings in non-abelian gauge theories naturally gain a spectrum of massless, or light, excitations arising from their embedding in color and flavor space. This opens up the possibility that colliding strings miss each other in the internal space, reducing the probability of reconnection. We study the topology of the non-abelian vortex moduli space to determine the outcome of string colli...
متن کاملClosed non-abelian strings
With the aim of finding a framework for describing (2, 0) theory, we propose a non-abelian gerbe with surface holonomies that can parallel transport closed strings only. [email protected]
متن کاملNon-Abelian Strings and Axions
We address two distinct but related issues: (i) the impact of (two-dimensional) axions in a two-dimensional theory known to model confinement, the CP (N−1) model; (ii) bulk axions in four-dimensional Yang–Mills theory supporting non-Abelian strings. In the first case n, n̄ kinks play the role of “quarks.” They are known to be confined. We show that introduction of axions leads to deconfinement (...
