A geometric algorithm to construct new solitons in the O(3) nonlinear sigma model
نویسنده
چکیده
The O(3) nonlinear sigma model with boundary, in dimension two, is considered. An algorithm to determine all its soliton solutions that preserve a rotational symmetry in the boundary is exhibited. This nonlinear problem is reduced to that of clamped elastica in a hyperbolic plane. These solutions carry topological charges that can be holographically determined from the boundary conditions. As a limiting case, we give a wide family of new soliton solutions in the free O(3) nonlinear sigma model. 2002 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.

متن کاملKnot Solitons
The existence of ring-like and knotted solitons in O(3) non-linear σ model is analysed. The role of isotopy of knots/links in classifying such solitons is pointed out. Appearance of torus knot solitons is seen. †[email protected]; [email protected] †† permanent address Introduction: Recently the possible existence of knotlike solitons in nonlinear field theories has been argued[1, 2]. ...
متن کاملVillarceau foliated solitons in the two-dimensional O(3) nonlinear sigma model
We obtain the complete space of solutions, in the two-dimensional O(3) nonlinear sigma model, which are foliated by Villarceau circles. In particular, we prove the existence of solitons that admit a foliation by nonparallel circles. This contrasts with the Plateau context, where solitons foliated by nonparallel circles cannot exist. These solitons carry topological charges that are holographica...
متن کاملDual instantons
We show how to map the Belavin-Polyakov instantons of the O(3)-nonlinear sigma model to a dual theory where they then appear as nontopological solitons. They are stationary points of the Euclidean action in the dual theory, and moreover, the dual action and the O(3)-nonlinear sigma model action agree on shell.
متن کاملRotational Surfaces in L and Solitons in the Nonlinear Sigma Model
The Gauss maps of non-degenerate surfaces in the Lorentz-Minkowski three space are viewed as dynamical fields of the two-dimensional O1(3) Nonlinear Sigma Model. In this setting, it is completely determined the moduli space of solitons which have a rotational symmetry. They are essentially generated by elastic curves in either a de Sitter plane, a hyperbolic plane or an anti de Sitter plane. An...
