Solitons in the Higgs phase: the moduli matrix approach

M Eto, Y Isozumi, M Nitta, K Ohashi… - Journal of Physics A …, 2006 - iopscience.iop.org
We review our recent work on solitons in the Higgs phase. We use U (NC) gauge theory with
NF Higgs scalar fields in the fundamental representation, which can be extended to possess …

Non-Abelian vortices on a cylinder: Duality between vortices and walls

M Eto, T Fujimori, Y Isozumi, M Nitta, K Ohashi… - Physical Review D …, 2006 - APS
We investigate vortices on a cylinder in supersymmetric non-Abelian gauge theory with
hypermultiplets in the fundamental representation. We identify moduli space of periodic …

Quantum Hall effect in supersymmetric Chern-Simons theories

D Tong, C Turner - Physical Review B, 2015 - APS
We introduce a supersymmetric Chern-Simons theory whose low energy physics is that of
the fractional quantum Hall effect. The supersymmetry allows us to solve the theory …

Tunneling decay of false vortices

BH Lee, W Lee, R MacKenzie, MB Paranjape… - Physical Review D …, 2013 - APS
We consider the decay of vortices trapped in the false vacuum of a theory of scalar
electrodynamics in 2+ 1 dimensions. The potential is inspired by models with intermediate …

A theory of giant vortices

AA Penin, Q Weller - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2021 - Springer
A bstract We elaborate a theory of giant vortices [1] based on an asymptotic expansion in
inverse powers of their winding number n. The theory is applied to the analysis of vortex …

What Becomes of Giant Vortices in the Abelian Higgs Model

AA Penin, Q Weller - Physical Review Letters, 2020 - APS
We discuss vortex solutions of the Abelian Higgs model in the limit of large winding number
n. We suggest a framework where a topological quantum number n is associated with a ratio …

Multi-monopoles and magnetic bags

S Bolognesi - Nuclear Physics B, 2006 - Elsevier
By analogy with the multi-vortices, we show that also multi-monopoles become magnetic
bags in the large n limit. This simplification allows us to compute the spectrum and the profile …

Majorana modes of giant vortices

L Gates, AA Penin - Physical Review B, 2023 - APS
We study Majorana zero modes bound to giant vortices in topological superconductors or
topological insulator/normal superconductor heterostructures. By expanding in inverse …

Zero modes of fermions trapped by giant vortices

L Gates, AA Penin - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2023 - Springer
A bstract Zero-energy solutions of the Dirac equation for the fermions bound to giant vortices
of large winding number n are studied in the abelian Higgs and Chern-Simons Higgs …

A note on Chern–Simons solitons—A type III vortex from the wall vortex

S Bolognesi, SB Gudnason - Nuclear physics B, 2008 - Elsevier
We study some properties of topological Chern–Simons vortices in 2+ 1 dimensions. As has
already been understood in the past, in the large magnetic flux limit, they are well described …
