The Higgs field and the ultraviolet behaviour of the vortex operator in 2+1 dimensions
نویسندگان
چکیده
We calculate the change in the ultraviolet behaviour of the vortex operator due to the presence of dynamical Higgs field in both 2+1 dimensional QED and the 2+1 dimensional Georgi-Glashow model. We find that in the QED case the presence of the Higgs field leads at the one loop level to power like correction to the propagator of the vortex operator. On the other hand, in the Georgi-Glashow model, the adjoint Higgs at one loop has no affect on the vortex propagator. Thus, as long as the mass of the Higgs field is much larger than the gauge coupling constant, the ultraviolet behaviour of the vortex operator in the Georgi-Glashow model is independent of the Higgs mass.

Z ( 2 ) vortex solution in a field theory
We present a finite energy topological Z(2) vortex solution in a 2 + 1 dimensional SO(3) gauge field theory minimally coupled to a matrix valued Higgs field. The vortex carries a Z(2) magnetic charge and obeys a modulo two addition property. The core of this vortex has a structure similar to that of the Abrikosov vortex appearing in a type II superconductor. The implications of this solution fo...
متن کاملFermions coupled with self - dual vortex background on a torus ∗
Abstract: We study fermionic zero modes in the self-dual vortex background on an extra torus in 5+1 dimensions. It is shown that the self-dual vortex arises from the symmetric phase and the asymmetric phase of Higgs field in the context of generalized Abelian Higgs model. Then we analyze the Dirac operator on the extra two-dimensional space and the effective Lagrangian of four-dimensional fermi...

Stability of the Higgs mass in theories with extra dimensions † Abstract We analyze the ultraviolet stability of the Higgs mass in recently proposed Kaluza-Klein models com-pactified on S 1 /Z 2 or S 1 /(Z 2 × Z ′ 2), both at the field theory and string theory level. Fayet-Iliopoulos terms of U (1) hypercharge are shown to be of vital importance for this discussion. Models with a single Higgs d...
