Domain Walls in QCD

QCD was shown to have a nontrivial vacuum structure due to the topology of the θ ≡ θ+2πn parameter. As a result of this nontrivial topology, in the large Nc limit, quasi-stable QCD domain walls appear, characterized by a transition in the singlet η field. We discuss the physics of these QCD domain walls as well as related axion domain walls and we present a new type of axion wall which also con...

Intersecting domain walls in MQCD

We argue that MQCD admits intersecting domain walls that are realized as Cayley calibrations of the MQCD M5-brane. We discuss various dual realizations and comment on how branes can realise domain walls in N=1 supersymmetric theories in D=3. 1 E-mail: [email protected] 2 E-mail: [email protected] 3 E-mail: [email protected]

Supergravity Domain Walls

We review the status of domain walls in N = 1 supergravity theories for both the vacuum domain walls as well as dilatonic domain walls. We concentrate on a systematic analysis of the nature of the space–time in such domain wall backgrounds and the special rôle that supersymmetry is playing in determining the nature of such configurations. Isotropic vacuum domain walls that can exist between iso...

Runaway dilatonic domain walls

We explore the stability of domain wall and bubble solutions in theories with compact extra dimensions. The energy density stored inside of the wall can destabilize the volume modulus of a compactification, leading to solutions containing either a timelike singularity or a region where space decompactifies, depending on the metric ansatz. We determine the structure of such solutions both analyt...
