Vortices under S - duality
نویسنده
چکیده
We investigate a system of 1,3, and 7-branes in type IIB string theory. We identify the 1-brane with the vortex of the Abelian Higgs model. We claim that in the S-dual, the theory on the 3-brane confines electric flux which we identify with the fundamental string and that the dual photon has a mass . We then investigate ways of breaking supersymmetry in the brane set up.

Advent of Non-Abelian Vortices and Monopoles – further thoughts about duality and confinement
Recent development on non-Abeliann vortices and monopoles is reviewed with an emphasis on their relevance on confinement and duality. A very recent construction of non-Abelian vortices which do not dynamically Abelianize is crucial in this context.
متن کاملExponential membership function and duality gaps for I-fuzzy linear programming problems
Fuzziness is ever presented in real life decision making problems. In this paper, we adapt the pessimistic approach tostudy a pair of linear primal-dual problem under intuitionistic fuzzy (I-fuzzy) environment and prove certain dualityresults. We generate the duality results using exponential membership and non-membership functions to represent thedecision maker’s satisfaction and dissatisfacti...
متن کاملEvidence for charge-vortex duality at the LaAlO3/SrTiO3 interface.
The concept of duality has proved extremely powerful in extending our understanding in many areas of physics. Charge-vortex duality has been proposed as a model to understand the superconductor to insulator transition in disordered thin films and Josephson junction arrays. In this model, on the superconducting side, one has delocalized Cooper pairs but localized vortices; while on the insulatin...
متن کاملDuality in Josephson Junction Arrays
Various properties of mesoscopic two-dimensional Josephson junction arrays are reviewed. Particular attention is paid to structure of the topological excitations, charges and vortices, which are shown to be dual to each other. This duality persists in the presence of external magnetic fields and offset charges, which influence vortices and charges in an equivalent way. A double-layer junction a...
متن کاملNS5-Branes, T-Duality and Worldsheet Instantons
The equivalence of NS5-branes and ALF spaces under T-duality is well known. However, a naive application of T-duality transforms the ALF space into a smeared NS5-brane, de-localized on the dual, transverse, circle. In this paper we re-examine this duality, starting from a two-dimensional N = (4, 4) gauged linear sigma model describing Taub-NUT space. After dualizing the S fiber, we find that th...
