Abstract
We analyze the moduli space dynamics of domain walls in QCD at , by softly breaking SQCD with sfermion mixing. In the supersymmetric limit, BPS domain walls between neighbouring vacua are known to possess non-translational flavour moduli that form a sigma model. For the simplest case with gauge group and , we show that this sigma model also exhibits a Hopf term descending from the bulk Wess-Zumino term with a quantized coefficient. On soft-breaking of supersymmetry via sfermion mixing that preserves the flavour symmetry, these walls and their moduli-space dynamics survives when so that there are two degenerate vacua.
