Fermion Vacuum Effects on Soliton Stability ∗
Just as fermion zero modes can alter the degeneracy and quantum numbers of a soliton, fermion energies can affect the form and stability of a nontopological soliton. We discuss the kink in a two-dimensional linear sigma model, and show that, when coupled to fermions, the kink is no longer an extremum of the energy functional. The kink in this model possesses many similarities to the electroweak...
متن کاملSoliton-fermion systems and stabilised vortex loops
In several self-coupled quantum field theories when treated in semi-classical limit one obtains solitonic solutions determined by topology of the boundary conditions. Such solutions, e.g. magnetic monopole in unified theories [1] [2] or the skyrme model of hadrons have been proposed as possible non-perturbative bound states which remain stable due to topological quantum numbers. Furthermore whe...
متن کاملLocal Casimir energy for solitons
A direct calculation of the one-loop contributions to the energy density of bosonic and supersymmetric φ4 kinks exhibits: (1) Local mode regularization. Regularization of the Casimir energy density maintains equality for the soliton and trivial vacua of not only the total number of field oscillation modes, but also the total mode density at each point in space. This yields the anomalous part of...
متن کاملCasimir Energy for a Dielectric Cylinder
In this paper we calculate the Casimir energy for a dielectric-diamagnetic cylinder with the speed of light differing on the inside and outside. Although the result is in general divergent, special cases are meaningful. The well-known results for a uniform speed of light are reproduced. The self-stress on a purely dielectric cylinder is shown to vanish through second order in the deviation of t...
متن کاملCasimir energy for spherical boundaries
Calculations of the Casimir energy for spherical geometries which are based on integrations of the stress tensor are critically examined. It is shown that despite their apparent agreement with numerical results obtained from mode summation methods, they contain a number of serious errors. Specifically, these include (1) an improper application of the stress tensor to spherical boundaries, (2) t...
