We propose a $\mathbb{U}(1) \times \mathbb{Z}_2$ effective gauge theory for vortices in a $p_x+ip_y$ superfluid in two dimensions. The combined gauge transformation binds $\mathbb{U}(1)$ and $\mathbb{Z}_2$ defects so that the total…

An effective monopole action is derived from vacuum configurations after abelian projection in the maximally abelian gauge in $SU(2)$ QCD. Entropy dominance over energy of monopole loops is seen on the renormalized lattice with the spacing…
In this work, we propose a class of SU(N) Yang-Mills models, with adjoint Higgs fields, that accept BPS center vortex equations. The lack of a local magnetic flux that could serve as an energy bound is circumvented by including a new term…
We determine the exact functional determinants of charged, massive spin-0 and spin-$\frac12$ particles in $\text{AdS}_2\times \mathbf{S}^2$ backgrounds threaded by constant electric and magnetic fields. This is achieved using Schwinger…

It is shown that the action associated with center vortices in SU(2) lattice gauge theory is strongly correlated with extrinsic and internal curvatures of the vortex surface and that this correlation persists in the continuum limit. Thus a…
We have studied the existence of self-dual effective compact and true compacton configurations in Abelian Higgs models with generalized dynamics. We have named of an effective compact solution the one whose profile behavior is very similar…
