Small - Size Strings in Abelian Higgs Model

چکیده
We consider monopole-antimonopole static potential in the confining phase of the Abelian Higgs model and concentrate on the correction to the Coulomb-like potential at short distances r. By minimising numerically the classical energy functional we observe a linear in r correction so that a string-tension term survives even at distances much smaller than apparent physical scales. We argue that this term is a manifestation of the condition that the monopoles are connected by a line along which the vacuum is trivial. Possible implications for QCD are briefly discussed.

متن کاملNumerical simulations of string networks in the Abelian-Higgs model
We present the results of a field theory simulation of networks of strings in the Abelian Higgs model. Starting from a random initial configuration we show that the resulting vortex tangle approaches a self-similar regime in which the length density of lines of zeros of φ reduces as t. We demonstrate that the network loses energy directly into scalar and gauge radiation. These results support a...
متن کاملDirac Born Infeld (DBI) Cosmic Strings
Motivated by brane physics, we consider the non-linear Dirac-Born-Infeld (DBI) extension of the Abelian-Higgs model and study the corresponding cosmic string configurations. The model is defined by a potential term, assumed to be of the mexican hat form, and a DBI action for the kinetic terms. We show that it is a continuous deformation of the Abelian-Higgs model, with a single deformation para...

We consider the monopole-antimonopole static potential in the confining phase of the Abelian Higgs model and in particular the corrections to the Coulomb-like potential at small distances r. By minimizing numerically the classical energy functional we observe a linear in r, stringy correction even at distances much smaller than the apparent physical scales. We argue that this term is a manifest...
