Exact vortex solutions in an extended Skyrme-Faddeev model
We construct exact vortex solutions in 3 + 1 dimensions to a theory which is an extension, due to Gies, of the Skyrme-Faddeev model, and that is believed to describe some aspects of the low energy limit of the pure SU(2) Yang-Mills theory. The exact vortices appear in a very particular sector of the theory characterized by special values of the coupling constants, and by a constraint that leads...
متن کاملRelaxation of twisted vortices in the Faddeev-Skyrme model
We study vortex knotting in the Faddeev-Skyrme model. Starting with a straight vortex line twisted around its axis we follow its evolution under dissipative energy minimization dynamics. With low twist per unit length the vortex forms a helical coil, but with higher twist numbers the vortex becomes knotted or a ring is formed around the vortex. PACS numbers: 47.32.Cc, 11.27.+d, 02.10.Kn, 11.10.Lm
متن کاملGauge theory of Faddeev-Skyrme functionals
We study geometric variational problems for a class of nonlinear σ -models in quantum field theory. Mathematically, one needs to minimize an energy functional on homotopy classes of maps from closed 3-manifolds into compact homogeneous spaces G/H . The minimizers are known as Hopfions and exhibit localized knot-like structure. Our main results include proving existence of Hopfions as finite ene...
متن کاملStatic solutions in the U ( 1 ) gauged Skyrme model
We use a prescription to gauge the SU(2) Skyrme model with a U(1) field, characterised by a conserved Baryonic current. This model reverts to the usual Skyrme model in the limit of the gauge coupling constant vanishing. We show that there exist axially symmetric static solutions with zero magnetic charge, which can be electrically either charged or uncharged. The energies of the (uncharged) gau...
متن کامل6 Hopf solitons and Hopf Q - balls on S 3
Field theories with a S 2-valued unit vector field living on S 3 × IR space-time are investigated. The corresponding eikonal equation, which is known to provide an integrable sector for various sigma models in different spaces, is solved giving static as well as time-dependent multiply knotted configurations on S 3 with arbitrary values of the Hopf index. Using these results, we then find a set...
