We analyze the moduli space dynamics of domain walls in $SU(N)$ QCD at $\bar\theta=\pi$, by softly breaking ${\cal N}\! =\!1$ SQCD with sfermion mixing. In the supersymmetric limit, BPS domain walls between neighbouring vacua are known to…

We investigate vortices on a cylinder in supersymmetric non-Abelian gauge theory with hypermultiplets in the fundamental representation. We identify moduli space of periodic vortices and find that a pair of wall-like objects appears as the…
In the noncommutative (Moyal) plane, we relate exact U(1) sigma-model solitons to generic scalar-field solitons for an infinitely stiff potential. The static k-lump moduli space C^k/S_k features a natural K"ahler metric induced from an…
The O(3) sigma model in two spatial dimensions admits topological (Bogomol'nyi) lower bound on its energy. This paper proposes a lattice version of this system which maintains the Bogomol'nyi bound and allows the explicit construction of…
We perform the dimensional reduction of the nonrelativistic CP(1) model coupled to an Abelian Chern-Simons gauge field in the self-dual limit, and investigate the soliton and domain wall solutions of the emerging 1+1 dimensional self-dual…
The moduli-space metric in the static non-Abelian charge-two sector of the Moyal-deformed CP^1 sigma model in 1+2 dimensions is analyzed. After recalling the commutative results of Ward and Ruback and the zeta-regularized construction of…
The analysis of domain wall dynamics is often simplified to one dimensional physics. For domain walls in thin films, more realistic approaches require the description as two dimensional objects. This includes the study of vortices and…
The standard notion of the non-Abelian duality in string theory is generalized to the class of $\si$-models admitting `non-commutative conserved charges'. Such $\si$-models can be associated with every Lie bialgebra $(\cg ,\cgt)$ and they…
Combining the semi-classical localization mechanism for gauge fields with $N$ domain wall background in a simple $SU(N)$ gauge theory in five space-time dimensions we investigate the geometric Higgs mechanism, where a spontaneous breakdown…
Translation surfaces can be defined in an elementary way via polygons, and arise naturally in in the study of various basic dynamical systems. They can also be defined as Abelian differentials on Riemann surfaces, and have moduli spaces…
We explore vorton solutions in the Witten's $U(1) \times U(1)$ model for cosmic strings and in a modified version $U(1) \times SO(3)$ obtained by introducing a triplet of non-Abelian fields to condense inside the string. We restrict to the…
The scattering is studied using moduli space metric for well-separated vortices of non-Abelian vortices in (2+1)-dimensional U(N) gauge theories with N Higgs fields in the fundamental representation. Unlike vortices in the Abelian-Higgs…
We study geometrically constrained magnetic walls in a three dimensional geometry where two bulks are connected by a thin neck. Without imposing any symmetry assumption on the domain, we investigate the scaling of the energy as the size of…
We review some aspects of moduli in string theory. We argue that one should focus on {\it approximate moduli spaces}, and that there is evidence that such spaces exist non-perturbatively. We ask what it would mean for string theory to…
We prove the modularity of a positive proportion of abelian surfaces over $\mathbf{Q}$. More precisely, we prove the modularity of abelian surfaces which are ordinary at $3$ and are $3$-distinguished, subject to some assumptions on the…
Domain wall networks are studied in N=2 supersymmetric U(N_C) gauge theory with N_F (>N_C) flavors. We find a systematic method to construct domain wall networks in terms of moduli matrices. Normalizable moduli parameters of the network are…
We study the role of domain walls and their relics in the very early Universe within the framework of the mode-matching technique. Domain walls formed during the spontaneous breaking of discrete symmetries are modelled as a short lived…
We show that a momentum operator of a translational symmetry may not commute with an internal symmetry operator in the presence of a topological soliton in non-relativistic theories. As a striking consequence, there appears a coupled…
