Quantum Global Vortex Strings in a Background Field
We consider quantum global vortex string correlation functions, within the Kalb-Ramond framework, in the presence of a background field-strength tensor and investigate the conditions under which this yields a nontrivial contribution to those correlation functions. We show that a background field must be supplemented to the Kalb-Ramond theory, in order to correctly describe the quantum propertie...
متن کاملVortices in superconducting films are anyons
We point out that nontrivial quantumstatistics of vortices in planar superfluid systems has its origin in the Schrodinger equation rather then the Chern-Simons term. Vortices in superfluid helium films are not anyons because helium films are compressible. Quantum Hall effect layers admit vortices with nontrivial statistical interactions thanks to their incompressibility. We consider type II pla...
متن کاملOn the Description of Quantum Vortices in Superfluid Films
The dynamics of vortices in a superfluid film at the absolute zero of temperature is studied. The quantum-mechanical, i.e., “first-quantized” description is compared to a recently proposed quantum-field-theoretic, i.e., “second-quantized” description. The theory, consisting of the nonrelativistic effective action of phonons linearly coupled to a Chern-Simons term, is used to calculate the one-l...
متن کاملUnconventional interaction between vortices in a polarized Fermi gas
Recently, a homogeneous superfluid state with a single gapless Fermi surface was predicted to be the ground state of an ultracold Fermi gas with spin population imbalance in the regime of molecular Bose-Einstein condensation. We study vortices in this novel state using a symmetry-based effective field theory, which captures the low-energy physics of gapless fermions and superfluid phase fluctua...
متن کاملVORTEX FORMATION AND DYNAMICS IN SUPERFLUID He AND ANALOGIES IN QUANTUM FIELD THEORY
The formation and dynamics of topological defects of different structure has been of central interest in the study of the 3He superfluids. Compared to superfluid 4He-II, the variability of the important parameters with temperature and pressure is wider and many features are more ideal. This has made experimentally new approaches possible. An example is the formation of quantized vortices and ot...
