v 1 1 4 O ct 1 99 3 Solitons in topological field theories

چکیده
We present a topological Lagrangian field theory that is geometrically similar to Yang-Mills(-Higgs) theory, and study the Bogomol'nyi solitons contained within this theory. The topological field theory may provide an example of a dual field theory. The existence of a dual field theory to Yang-Mills(-Higgs) theory was conjectured by Montonen and Olive.

Theories with gauge fields coupled to matter fields in (2+1) space dimensions present novel effects as compared to the (3+1) dimensional case. In planar systems the Chern-Simons term (CS) can supplement (sometimes replace) the Maxwell term in the action for the gauge field [1] . Additionally, the covariant coupling to the scalar field can be modified by the inclusion of an extra term, which is ...
متن کاملSolitons in Two–dimensional Topological Field Theories
We consider a class of N = 2 supersymmetric non–unitary theories in two– dimensional Minkowski spacetime which admit classical solitonic solutions. We show how these models can be twisted into a topological sector whose energy–momentum tensor is a BRST commutator. There is an infinite number of degrees of freedom associated to the zero modes of the solitons. As explicit realizations of such mod...
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]. ...

We study in a systematic way all static solutions of the Goldstone model in 1+1 dimension with a periodicity condition imposed on the spatial coordinate. The solutions are presented in terms of the standard trigonometric functions and of Jacobi elliptic functions. Their stability analysis is carried out, and the complete list of classically stable quasi-topological solitons is given.

Using methods of high performance computing, we have found indications that knotlike structures appear as stable finite energy solitons in a realistic 3+1 dimensional model. We have explicitly simulated the unknot and trefoil configurations, and our results suggest that all torus knots appear as solitons. Our observations open new theoretical possibilities in scenarios where stringlike structur...
