Symmetry Breaking and Axionic Strings in the Warped Deformed Conifold
We interpret D-strings at the bottom of the warped deformed conifold as axionic strings in the dual cascading SU(N + M) × SU(N) gauge theory. The axion is a massless pseudo-scalar glueball which we find in the supergravity fluctuation spectrum and interpret as the Goldstone boson of spontaneously broken U(1) baryon number symmetry. The existence of this massless glueball, anticipated in hep-th/...
متن کاملCosmic Strings In Theories With Dynamical Symmetry Breaking
We study the classical cosmic string solution in a theory with dynamical U(1) symmetry breaking. We calculate the energy per unit length of the string and compare it to that obtained in a model with a fundamental Higgs. We find that the predictions of the standard Abelian Higgs model are quite stable towards the addition of higher dimension operators expected in the effective Lagrangian for the...
متن کاملSpontaneous symmetry breaking in photonic lattices: Theory and experiment
We examine an example of spontaneous symmetry breaking in a double-well waveguide with a symmetric potential. The ground state of the system beyond a critical power becomes asymmetric. The effect is illustrated numerically, and quantitatively analyzed via a Galerkin truncation that clearly shows the bifurcation from a symmetric to an asymmetric steady state. This phenomenon is also demonstrated...
متن کاملBreaking cosmic strings without monopoles.
It is shown that topologically stable cosmic strings can, in fact, appear to end or to break, even in theories without monopoles. This can occur whenever the spatial topology of the universe is nontrivial. For the case of Abelian-Higgs strings, we describe the gauge and scalar field configurations necessary for a string to end on a black hole. We give a lower bound for the rate at which a cosmi...
متن کاملNonperturbative Spontaneous Symmetry Breaking
One of the most astonishing results of quantum field theory is spontaneous symmetry breaking. One can say that it is the situation when something arises from the quantization. This means that on the quantum level one has something that was not present on the classical level. Coleman and Weinberg [1] write : “ . . . higher-order effects may qualitatively change the character of a physical theory...
