D-brane Construction for Non-Abelian Walls

چکیده
Supersymmetric U(NC) gauge theory with NF massive hypermultiplets in the fundamental representation is given by the brane configuration made of NC fractional Dp-branes stuck at the Z2 orbifold singularity on NF separated D(p+4)-branes. We show that non-Abelian walls in this theory are realized as kinky fractional Dp-branes interpolating between D(p+4)branes. Wall solutions and their duality between NC and NF−NC imply extensions of the s-rule and the Hanany-Witten effect in brane dynamics. We also find that the reconnection of fractional D-branes occurs in this system. Diverse phenomena in non-Abelian walls found in field theory can be understood very easily by this brane configuration. e-mail address: [email protected] e-mail address: [email protected] e-mail address: [email protected] e-mail address: [email protected] e-mail address: [email protected] e-mail address: [email protected]

Non-Abelian Vortices on Cylinder
We investigate vortices on a cylinder in supersymmetric non-Abelian gauge theory with hypermultiplets in the fundamental representation. We identify moduli space of periodic vortices and find that a pair of wall-like objects appears as the vortex moduli is varied. Usual domain walls also can be obtained from the single vortex on the cylinder by introducing a twisted boundary condition. We can u...
متن کاملLocalization of Non-Abelian Gauge Fields on Domain Walls at Weak Coupling (D-brane Prototypes)
Building on our previous results (Ref. [4]), we study D-brane/string prototypes in weakly coupled (3+1)-dimensional supersymmetric field theory engineered to support (2+1)-dimensional domain walls, " non-Abelian " strings and various junctions. Our main but not exclusive task is the study of localization of non-Abelian gauge fields on the walls. The model we work with is N = 2 QCD, with the gau...

متن کاملStatistical Mechanics of Vortices from D-branes and T-duality
We propose a novel and simple method to compute the partition function of statistical mechanics of local and semi-local BPS vortices in the Abelian-Higgs model and its non-Abelian extension on a torus. We use a D-brane realization of the vortices and T-duality relation to domain walls. We there use a special limit where domain walls reduce to gas of hard (soft) one-dimensional rods for Abelian ...
متن کاملTesting the fermionic terms in the non - abelian D - brane effective action through order α ′ 3
Recently the construction of the non-abelian effective D-brane action was performed through order α′3 including the terms quadratic in the gauginos. This result can be tested by calculating the spectrum in the presence of constant magnetic background fields and comparing it to the string theoretic predictions. This test was already performed for the purely bosonic terms. In this note we extend ...
