Nonabelian Cosmic Strings from SO ( 3 ) Gauge Symmetry ∗
نویسنده
چکیده
The nature of SO(3) breaking into its closed subgroups and the emergence of nonabelian cosmic strings are discussed. Relevance to GUT breaking and thereby to cosmology is pointed out. Classification of cosmic strings are associated with the affine ADE Lie algebras.

We investigate the microphysics of cosmic strings in Nonabelian gauge theories with N = 1 supersymmetry. We give the vortex solutions in a specific example and demonstrate that fermionic superconductivity arises because of the couplings and interactions dictated by supersymmetry. We then use supersymmetry transformations to obtain the relevant fermionic zero modes and investigate the role of so...
متن کاملMicrophysics of SO(10) Cosmic Strings
We uncover a rich microphysical structure for SO(10) cosmic strings. For the abelian string the electroweak symmetry is restored around it in a region depending on the electroweak scale. A rich structure of nonabelian strings is found. Some of these also restore the electroweak symmetry. We investigate the zero mode structure of our strings. Whilst there are right handed neutrino zero modes for...
متن کاملSupersymmetric Cosmic Strings
We study the formation of cosmic strings in the context of spontaneous symmetry breaking of gauge symmetry groups. We discuss the conditions for formation and stability of defects in nonsupersymmetric theories and also F-strings in the supersymmetry context. Finally, we discuss how cosmological observations can constrain supersymmetric grand unified theories.

Pijushpani Bhattacharjee, Narendra Sahu, and Urjit A. Yajnik Department of Physics, Indian Institute of Technology, Bombay, Mumbai 400076, India and Indian Institute of Astrophysics, Bangalore-560 034, India Abstract Cosmic strings arising from breaking of the U(1)B−L gauge symmetry that occurs in a wide variety of unified models can carry zero modes of heavy Majorana neutrinos. Decaying and/or...
متن کاملInflation and Nonsingular Spacetimes of Cosmic Strings
Inflation of cosmic gauge and global strings is investigated by numerically solving the combined Einstein and field equations. Above some critical symmetry-breaking scales, the strings undergo inflation along the radial direction as well as the axial direction at the core. The nonsingular nature of the spacetimes around supercritical gauge and global strings is discussed and contrasted to the s...
