Solitons in an effective theory of CP violation
Abstract
We study an effective field theory describing CP-violation in a scalar meson sector. We write the simplest interaction that we can imagine, which involves 5 scalar fields. The theory describes CP-violation only when it contains scalar fields representing mesons such as the , sigma, or . If the fields represent pseudo-scalar mesons, such as B, K and mesons then the Lagrangian describes anomalous processes such as . We speculate that the field theory contains long lived excitations corresponding to -ball type domain walls expanding through space-time. In an 1+1 dimensional, analogous, field theory we find an exact, analytic solution corresponding to such solitons. The solitons have a U(1) charge , which can be arbitrarily high, but oddly, the energy behaves as for large charge, thus the configurations are stable under disintegration into elementary charged particles of mass with . We also find analytic complex instanton solutions which have finite, positive Euclidean action.
