Embedded Vortices

چکیده
We present a discussion of embedded vortices in general Yang-Mills theories. The origin of a family structure of solutions is shown to be group theoretic in nature and a procedure for its determination is developed. Vortex stability can be quantified into three types: Abelian topological stability, non-Abelian topological stability, and dynamical stability; we relate these to the family structure of vortices, in particular discussing how Abelian topological and dynamical stability are related. The formalism generally encompasses embedded domain walls and embedded monopoles also. CERN-TH/95-185 July 1995 e-mail: [email protected] e-mail: [email protected]

Fresnel Lens with Embedded Vortices
Vortices of different charges are embedded in a wavefront that has quadratic phase variation, and the intensity distribution near the focal plane is studied. This method may be useful in realizing complicated beam profiles. We have experimentally demonstrated the generation of vortex arrays having integer as well as fractional topological charges that produce different intensity profiles at the...
متن کاملExistence and Stability of Spinning Embedded Vortices
I show the existence of a new type of vortex solution which is nonstatic but stationary and carries angular momentum. This spinning vortex can be embedded in models with trivial vacuum topology like a model with SU(2)global × U(1)local → U(1)global symmetry breaking. The stability properties of the embedded spinning vortex are also studied in detail and it is shown that stability improves drast...
متن کاملExamples of Embedded Defects ( in Particle Physics and Condensed Matter )
We present a series of examples designed to clarify the formalism of the companion paper ‘Embedded Vortices’. After summarising this formalism in a prescriptive sense, we run through several examples: firstly, deriving the embedded defect spectrum for Weinberg-Salam theory, then discussing several examples designed to illustrate facets of the formalism. We then calculate the embedded defect spe...
متن کاملLarge-Eddy Simulations of Longitudinal Vortices Embedded in a Turbulent Boundary Layer
Large-eddy simulations of pairs of artificially generated longitudinal vortices embedded in a two-dimensional turbulent boundary layer are performed to study the dynamics of the vortical structures and to provide the unsteady inflow data for use in a future turbomachinery simulation. An immersed boundarymethod is employed to represent the wall-mounted half-delta wings that generate the counter-...
متن کاملProbing vortices in 4He nanodroplets.
We present static and dynamical properties of linear vortices in 4He droplets obtained from density functional calculations. By comparing the adsorption properties of different atomic impurities embedded in pure droplets and in droplets where a quantized vortex has been created, we suggest that Ca atoms should be the dopant of choice to detect vortices by means of spectroscopic experiments.
