Topologically Stable Electroweak Flux Tube

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2009-10-22 v1

Abstract

We show that for a large range of parameters in a SU(2)L×U(1)SU(2)_L\times U(1) electroweak theory with two Higgs doublets there may exist classically stable flux tubes of Z boson magnetic field. In a limit of an extra global U~(1)\tilde U(1) symmetry, these flux-tubes become topologically stable. These results are automatically valid even if U~(1)\tilde U(1) is gauged.
