Dynamics of Strings between Domain Walls
Configurations of vortex-strings stretched between or ending on domain walls were previously found to be 1/4 BPS states. Among zero modes of string positions, the center of mass of strings in each region between two adjacent domain walls is shown to be non-normalizable whereas the rests are normalizable. We study dynamics of vortex-strings stretched between separated domain walls by using two m...
متن کاملAnalytic Scaling Solutions for Cosmic Domain Walls.
A relativistic generalisation of a well-known method for approximating the dynamics of topological defects in condensed matter is constructed, and applied to the evolution of domain walls in a cosmological context. It is shown that there are self-similar “scaling” solutions, for which one can in principle calculate many quantities of interest without recourse to numerical simulations. Here, the...
متن کاملSpontaneous and Induced Decay of Metastable Strings and Domain Walls
We consider decay of metastable topological configurations such as strings and domain walls. The transition from a state with higher energy density to a state with lower one proceeds through quantum tunneling or through thermally catalyzed quantum tunneling (at sufficiently small temperatures). The transition rate is calculated at zero temperature including the preexponential factor and also at...
متن کاملQuantum Fusion of Strings (Flux Tubes) and Domain Walls
We consider formation of composite strings and domain walls as a result of fusion of two elementary objects (elementary strings in the first case and elementary walls in the second) located at a distance from each other. The tension of the composite object T2 is assumed to be less than twice the tension of the elementary object T1, so that bound states are possible. If in the initial state the ...
متن کاملAnomalies and Fermion Zero Modes on Strings and Domain Walls
We show that the mathematical relation between non-abelian anomalies in 2n dimensions, the parity anomaly in 2n + 1 dimensions, and the Dirac index density in 2n + 2 dimensions can be unders tood in terms of the physics of fermion zero modes on strings and domain walls. We show that the Dirac equation possesses chiral zero modes in the presence of strings in 2n +2 dimensions (such as occur in a...
