Fermion Zero Modes and Cosmological Constant
A general condition for the existence of fermion zero modes is derived for the M-5brane, the M-2-brane and the D = 4, N = 2 Majumdar-Papapetrou 0-brane. The fermion zero modes of these p-branes do not exist if the supersymmetry spinor generator goes to a constant at the horizon and they exist only if it vanishes there. In particular it is shown that the fermion zero mode of the M-2-brane in D =...
متن کاملMeron pairs and fermion zero modes
Merons, conjectured as a semiclassical mechanism for color confinement in QCD, have been described analytically by either infinite action configurations or an Ansatz with discontinuous action. We construct a smooth, finite action, stationary lattice solution corresponding to a meron pair. We also derive an analytical solution for the zero mode of the meron pair Ansatz, show that it has the qual...
متن کاملPerturbed Electroweak Strings and Fermion Zero Modes
The effect of perturbations of electroweak strings on quark zero modes is studied in 2+1 and 3+1 dimensions. As first discovered by Naculich, it is found that the bosonic perturbations that destabilize the string give a mass to the zero modes and also lift their degeneracy. The effect of the zero modes on the stability of the string is discussed qualitatively and we argue that the fermionic vac...
متن کاملDomain wall fermion zero modes on classical
The domain wall approach to lattice fermions employs an additional dimension, in which gauge fields are merely replicated, to separate the chiral components of a Dirac fermion. It is known that in the limit of infinite separation in this new dimension, domain wall fermions have exact zero modes, even for gauge fields which are not smooth. We explore the effects of finite extent in the fifth dim...
متن کاملFermion zero-modes on brane-worlds
We study localization of bulk fermions on a brane with inclusion of Yang-Mills and scalar backgrounds in higher dimensions and give the conditions under which localized chiral fermions can be obtained. Introduction. Suggestions that extra dimensions may not be compact [1]-[5] or large [6, 7] can provide new insights for a solution of gauge hierarchy problem [7], of cosmological constant problem...
