Multi-layered Josephson junctions are modeled in the context of a field theory, and dynamics of Josephson vortices trapped inside insulators are studied. Starting from a theory consisting of complex and real scalar fields coupled to a U(1)…
Certain gauge theories in four dimensions are known to admit semi-classical D-brane solitons. These are domain walls on which vortex flux tubes may end. The purpose of this paper is to develop an open-string description of these D-branes.…

We discuss 1/2 BPS domain walls in the 3d $\mathcal N=4$ supersymmetric gauge theory which is self-dual under the 3d mirror symmetry. We find that if a BF-type coupling is introduced, invariance of the BPS domain wall under the duality…
Magnetic domain walls can be moved by spin-polarized currents due to spin-transfer torques. This opens the possibility to use them in spintronic memory devices as, e.g., in racetrack storage. Naturally, in miniaturized devices domain walls…

Nucleation of domain walls by current-driving a single domain wall, confined to the junction area of two symmetrical strips, is investigated using systematic micromagnetic simulations. Secondary domain walls (equivalently, bits encoded in…
We carry out large-scale micromagnetic simulations which demonstrate that due to topological constraints, internal domain walls (Bloch lines) within extended domain walls are more robust than domain walls in nanowires. Thus, the possibility…
We study a simple axionlike model with a charged scalar $\phi$ and a double-charged scalar $\zeta$ of global $U(1)$ symmetry. A particular feature of our model is that a vacuum manifold is a torus knot. We consider a hierarchical…
So far magnetic domain walls in one-dimensional structures have been described theoretically only in the cases of flat strips, or cylindrical structures with a compact cross-section, either square or disk. Here we describe an extended phase…
At the nucleus of a superconducting vortex is a small, circular region where superconductivity is destroyed. Like an atomic nucleus, this core may become deformed, and such distortions can have important consequences in non-equilibrium…
We determine the motions of the roots of the Bethe ansatz equation for the ground state in the XXZ spin chain under a varying twist angle. This is done by analytic as well as numerical study at a finite size system. In the attractive…
The U(N) gauge theory on a D-dimensional lattice is reformulated as a theory of lattice strings (a statistical model of random surfaces). The Boltzmann weights of the surfaces can have both signs and are tuned so that the longitudinal modes…
We propose using the extra dimension separating the domain walls carrying lattice quarks of opposite handedness to gradually filter out the ultraviolet fluctuations of the gauge fields that are felt by the fermionic excitations living in…
