Bound states and instabilities of vortices.
We examine the spectrum of small perturbations around global and local (gauge) abelian vortices, using simple numerical matrix techniques. The results are of interest both for cosmic strings and for their condensed matter analogues, superfluid and superconductor vortices. We tabulate the instabilities of higher winding number vortices, and find several bound states. These localised coherent osc...
متن کاملCan bars be destroyed by a central mass concentration? I Simulations
We study the effect of a central mass concentration (CMC) on the secular evolution of a barred disc galaxy. Unlike previous studies, we use fully self-consistent 3D N -body simulations with live haloes, which are known to be important for bar evolution. The CMC is introduced gradually, to avoid transients. In all cases where the mass of the CMC is of the order of, or more than, a few per cent o...
متن کاملCavity-free photon blockade induced by many-body bound states.
The manipulation of individual, mobile quanta is a key goal of quantum communication; to achieve this, nonlinear phenomena in open systems can play a critical role. We show theoretically that a variety of strong quantum nonlinear phenomena occur in a completely open one-dimensional waveguide coupled to an N-type four-level system. We focus on photon blockade and the creation of single-photon st...
متن کاملPhoton mass from inflation.
We consider vacuum polarization from massless scalar electrodynamics in de Sitter inflation. The theory exhibits a 3+1 dimensional analog of the Schwinger mechanism in which a photon mass is dynamically generated. The mechanism is generic for light scalar fields that couple minimally to gravity. The nonvanishing of the photon mass during inflation may result in magnetic fields on cosmological s...
متن کاملA Topological Bound for Electroweak Vortices from Supersymmetry
We study the connection between N = 2 supersymmetry and a topological bound in a two-Higgsdoublet system having an SU(2) × U(1)Y × U(1)Y ′ gauge group. We derive Bogomol’nyi equations from supersymmetry considerations showing that they hold provided certain conditions on the coupling constants, which are a consequence of the huge symmetry of the theory, are satisfied. Supersymmetric Grand Unifi...
