Domain Walls and Flux Tubes
نویسنده
چکیده
We present a new vortex solution made of a domain wall compactified into a cylinder and stabilized by the magnetic flux within. When the thickness of the wall is much less than the radius of the vortex some precise results can be obtained, such as the tension spectrum and profile functions. This vortex can naturally end on the wall that has created it, making the simplest junction between a wall and a vortex. We then classify every kind of junction between a flux tube and domain wall. The criteria for classification are as follows: a flux can or can not end on the wall, and when it ends, the flux must go somewhere. Various examples are discussed, including abelian and nonabelian theories, as well as supersymmetric and non-supersymmetric theories.

D-Branes in Field Theory
Certain gauge theories in four dimensions are known to admit semi-classical D-brane solitons. These are domain walls on which vortex flux tubes may end. The purpose of this paper is to develop an open-string description of these D-branes. The dynamics of the domain walls is shown to be governed by a Chern-Simons-Higgs theory which, at the quantum level, captures the classical scattering of doma...
متن کاملExplosive instability and erupting flux tubes in a magnetized plasma.
The eruption of multiple flux tubes in a magnetized plasma is proposed as a mechanism for explosive release of energy in plasmas. A significant fraction of the linearly stable isolated flux tubes are shown to be metastable in a box model magnetized atmosphere in which ends of the field lines are embedded in conducting walls. The energy released by destabilizing such field lines can be a large p...
متن کاملDomain Walls and Flux Tubes in N = 2 SQCD: D-Brane Prototypes
This paper could have been entitled “D branes and strings from flesh and blood.” We study field theoretic prototypes of D branes/strings. To this end we consider (2+1)-dimensional domain walls in (3+1)-dimensional N = 2 SQCD with SU(2) gauge group and Nf = 2 flavors of fundamental hypermultiplets (quarks). This theory is perturbed by a small mass term of the adjoint matter which, in the leading...
متن کاملLocalization of Non-Abelian Gauge Fields on Domain Walls at Weak Coupling (D-brane Prototypes)
Building on our previous results (Ref. [4]), we study D-brane/string prototypes in weakly coupled (3+1)-dimensional supersymmetric field theory engineered to support (2+1)-dimensional domain walls, " non-Abelian " strings and various junctions. Our main but not exclusive task is the study of localization of non-Abelian gauge fields on the walls. The model we work with is N = 2 QCD, with the gau...
