Forced Topological Nontrivial Field Configurations

چکیده
The motion of a one-dimensional kink and its energy losses are considered as a model of interaction of nontrivial topological field configurations with external fields. The approach is based on the calculation of the zero modes excitation probability in the external field. We study in the same way the interaction of the t’Hooft–Polyakov monopole with weak external fields. The basic idea is to treat the excitation of a monopole zero mode as the monopole displacement. The excitation is found perturbatively. As an example we consider the interaction of the t’Hooft-Polyakov monopole with an external uniform magnetic field. Typeset using REVTEX

Beyond the constant-mass Dirac physics: Solitons, charge fractionization, and the emergence of topological insulators in graphene rings
The doubly connected polygonal geometry of planar graphene rings is found to bring forth topological configurations for accessing nontrivial relativistic quantum field (RQF) theory models that carry beyond the constant-mass Dirac-fermion theory. These include the generation of sign-alternating masses, solitonic excitations, and charge fractionization. The work integrates a RQF Lagrangian formul...
متن کاملConstruction of a topological charge on fuzzy S 2 × S 2 via Ginsparg - Wilson relation
We construct a topological charge of gauge field configurations on a fuzzy S2×S2 by using a Dirac operator satisfying the Ginsparg-Wilson relation. The topological charge defined on the fuzzy S2×S2 can be interpreted as a noncommutative (or matrix) generalization of the 2nd Chern character on S2 × S2. We further calculate the number of chiral zero modes of the Dirac operator in topologically no...
متن کاملTopological phases in Neuberger-Dirac operator
The response of the Neuberger-Dirac fermion operator D = 1I + V in the topologically nontrivial background gauge field depends on the negative mass parameter m0 in the Wilson-Dirac fermion operator Dw which enters D through the unitary operator V = Dw(D † wDw) −1/2. We classify the topological phases of D by comparing its index to the topological charge of the smooth background gauge field. An ...

متن کاملA Numerical Study of Spectral Flows of Hermitian Wilson-Dirac Operator and The Index Theorem in Abelian Gauge Theories on Finite Lattices
We investigate the index of the Neuberger’s Dirac operator in abelian gauge theories on finite lattices by numerically analyzing the spectrum of the hermitian Wilson-Dirac operator for a continuous family of gauge fields connecting different topological sectors. By clarifying the characteristic structure of the spectrum leading to the index theorem we show that the index coincides to the topolo...
