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) …

On the moduli space of semilocal strings and lumps

[HTML][HTML] Non-Abelian sine-Gordon solitons

M Nitta - Nuclear Physics B, 2015 - Elsevier
We point out that non-Abelian sine-Gordon solitons stably exist in the U (N) chiral
