We connect the translation modes of the instanton in the two-dimensional Abelian Higgs model with local translations of the vortex of the related model in (3+1) dimensions, the Nielsen-Olesen vortex. In this context these modes describe…
We correct two errors in our previous computation of one-loop corrections to the vortex string tension: (i) the contribution of the longitudinal and timelike modes of the gauge fields were forgotten and are included now; (ii) a trivial…

The free string spectrum is highly degenerate, with a degeneracy that grows exponentially with the mass. Turning on a non-vanishing string coupling $g_s$ introduces interactions, rendering massive string states unstable and allowing them to…
