چکیده

We study a twisted vortex bundle where quantized vortices form helices circling around the axis of the bundle in a "force-free" configuration. Such a state is created by injecting vortices into a rotating vortex-free superfluid. Using continuum theory we determine the structure and the relaxation of the twisted state. This is confirmed by numerical calculations. We also present experimental evidence of the twisted vortex state in superfluid 3He-B.

Metastable states in magnetic nanorings

Magnetization states and hysteresis behavior of small ferromagnetic rings, of diameters 180–520 nm, have been investigated using magnetic force microscopy. In addition to the expected bi-domain ~‘‘onion’’! and flux-closed ~‘‘vortex’’! magnetization states, a metastable state has been found. This ‘‘twisted’’ state contains a 360° domain wall which can exist over a wide range of applied fields. F...

Relaxation of twisted vortices in the Faddeev-Skyrme model

We study vortex knotting in the Faddeev-Skyrme model. Starting with a straight vortex line twisted around its axis we follow its evolution under dissipative energy minimization dynamics. With low twist per unit length the vortex forms a helical coil, but with higher twist numbers the vortex becomes knotted or a ring is formed around the vortex. PACS numbers: 47.32.Cc, 11.27.+d, 02.10.Kn, 11.10.Lm

A theorem concerning twisted and untwisted partition functions in U(N) and SU(N) lattice gauge theories

In order to get a clue to understanding the volume-dependence of vortex free energy (which is defined as the ratio of the twisted against the untwisted partition function), we investigate the relation between vortex free energies defined on lattices of different sizes. An equality is derived through a simple calculation which equates a general linear combination of vortex free energies defined ...

Emergence of a Twisted Magnetic Flux Bundle as a Source of Strong Flare Activity

Sunspot proper motions and flares of a super active region NOAA 5395, which was the biggest and the most flare-active region in the 22nd sunspot cycle, were analyzed in details. We measured sunspot proper motions by using the Hα − 5.0 Å images obtained with the 60-cm Domeless Solar Telescope (DST) at Hida Observatory, Kyoto University and found some peculiar vortex-like motions of small satelli...

Non-Abelian Vortices on the Torus

We study periodic arrays of non-Abelian vortices in an SU(N)×U(1) gauge theory with Nf flavors of fundamental matter multiplets. We carefully discuss the corresponding twisted boundary conditions on the torus and propose an ansatz to solve the first order Bogomolnyi equations which we find by looking to a bound of the energy. We solve the equations numerically and construct explicit vortex solu...
