P-term Strings and Semi-local Strings
P-term potentials can give rise to Nielsen-Olesen or semi-local cosmic strings. We present a general analysis of these cosmic strings where we derive the Bogomol’nyi equations and field profiles for both types of string and discuss their stability. We give an analysis of the fermionic zero modes that could live on the strings and a brief discussion of the inflationary period preceding their for...
متن کاملSemi-local Cosmic Strings and the Cosmological Constant Problem
We study the cosmological constant problem in a three-dimensional N = 2 supergravity theory with gauge group SU(2)global × U(1)local. The model we consider is known to admit string-like configurations, the so-called semi-local cosmic strings. We show that the stability of these solitonic solutions is provided by supersymmetry through the existence of a lower bound for the energy, even though th...
متن کاملTextures and Semi-Local Strings in SUSY Hybrid Inflation
Global topological defects may account for the large cold spot observed in the Cosmic Microwave Background. We explore possibilities of constructing models of supersymmetric F -term hybrid inflation, where the waterfall fields are globally SU(2)-symmetric. In contrast to the case where SU(2) is gauged, there arise Goldstone bosons and additional moduli, which are lifted only by masses of soft-s...
متن کاملCosmic D-strings as Axionic D-term Strings
In this work we derive non-singular BPS string solutions from an action that captures the essential features of aD−brane-anti-D−brane system compactified to four dimensions. The model we consider is a supersymmetric abelian Higgs model with a D−term potential coupled to an axion-dilaton multiplet. The strings in question are axionic D−term strings which we identify with the D−strings of type II...
متن کاملConfining Strings with Topological Term
We consider several aspects of ‘confining strings’, recently proposed to describe the confining phase of gauge field theories. We perform the exact duality transformation that leads to the confining string action and show that it reduces to the Polyakov action in the semiclassical approximation. In 4D we introduce a ‘θ-term’ and compute the low-energy effective action for the confining string i...
