Non-Abelian Moduli on Domain Walls

High Energy Physics - Theory 2015-01-06 v2

Abstract

We study a simple model supporting domain walls which possess two orientational moduli in addition to the conventional translational modulus. This model is conceptually close to Witten's cosmic strings. We observe an O(3)O(3) sigma model on the wall world volume in the low-energy limit. We solve (numerically) classical static equations of motion and find the wall profile functions and the value of the coupling of the O(3)O(3) model in terms of the bulk parameters. In the second part a term describing a spin-orbit interaction in the bulk is added, which gives rise to an entanglement between rotational and translational moduli. The corresponding extra term in the low-energy Lagrangian is calculated.
