Domain walls in gauge theories and solutions in the Higgs phase
- 1. Tokyo Inst. of Tech., Faculty of Science and Engineering Tokyo (Japan)
Description
Recent progress in studying solitons, especially domain walls are reviewed. In the U(NC) gauge theory with 8 supercharges, the moduli space of domain walls is found to be the complex Grassmann manifold. Domain walls can exist in the Higgs phase where new interesting phenomena arise for solitons in general. For instance the magnetic monopole accompanies vortex strings to become a composite soliton.
