Quantum vortex strings: a review

D Tong - Annals of Physics, 2009 - Elsevier
The quantum worldsheet dynamics of vortex strings contains information about the 4d non-
Abelian gauge theory in which the string lives. Here I tell this story. The string worldsheet …

Relations among topological solitons

M Nitta - Physical Review D, 2022 - APS
We clarify relations among topological solitons in various dimensions: a domain wall, non-
Abelian vortex, magnetic monopole, and Yang-Mills instanton, together with a (non-Abelian) …

Axion quality from the (anti)symmetric of SU( )

M Ardu, L Di Luzio, G Landini, A Strumia… - Journal of High Energy …, 2020 - Springer
A bstract We propose two models where a U (1) Peccei-Quinn global symmetry arises
accidentally and is respected up to high-dimensional operators, so that the axion solution to …

[PDF][PDF] Monopole breaking of Chern-Weil symmetries

E García-Valdecasas, M Reece, M Suzuki - arxiv preprint arxiv …, 2024 - scipost.org
Gauge theories in d dimensions with a nontrivial fundamental group admit a (d− 3)-form
