چکیده
We investigate vortex solutions to the Abelian Higgs field equations in a four dimensional de Sitter spacetime background. We obtain both static and dynamic solutions with axial symmetry that are generalizations of the Nielsen-Olesen gauge vortices in flat spacetime. The static solution is located in the static patch of de Sitter space. We numerically solve the field equations in an inflationary (big bang) patch and find a time dependent vortex soution. We show that the effect of the vortex is to create a deficit angle in the spacetime. We comment on the relationship of these solutions to their anti de Sitter counterparts, and on their possible holographic interpretation.

We investigate the various time-dependent bubble spacetimes that can be obtained from double analytic continuation of asymptotically locally flat/AdS spacetimes with NUT charge. We find different time-dependent explicit solutions of general relativity from double analytic continuations of Taub-Nut(AdS) and Kerr-Nut(AdS) spacetimes. One solution in particular has Milne-like evolution throughout,...

We consider Ward’s generalized self-duality equations for U(2r) Yang-Mills theory on R and their Moyal deformation under self-dual noncommutativity. Employing an extended ADHM construction we find two kinds of explicit solutions, which generalize the ’t Hooft and BPST instantons from R to noncommutative R. The BPST-type configurations appear to be new even in the commutative case.

We show that the Abelian Higgs field equations in the four dimensional anti de Sitter spacetime have a vortex line solution. This solution, which has cylindrical symmetry in AdS 4 , is a generalization of the flat spacetime Nielsen-Olesen string. We show that the vortex induces a deficit angle in the AdS 4 spacetime that is proportional to its mass density. Using the AdS/CFT correspondence, we ...
