We simulate a rotating 2D BEC to study the melting of a vortex lattice in presence of random impurities. Impurities are introduced either through a protocol in which vortex lattice is produced in an impurity potential or first creating the…
We elaborate a theory of giant vortices [1] based on an asymptotic expansion in inverse powers of their winding number $n$. The theory is applied to the analysis of vortex solutions in the abelian Higgs (Ginzburg-Landau) model. Specific…
The appropriate generalization of the isotropic impurity Anderson model for valence fluctuations between two magnetic multiplets $l^n$ and $l^{n+1}$ is solved in the strong-coupling limit of Wilson's renormalization group for $l\leq$ 3.…
In order to investigate possible topological vortex structures in generalized models, we developed a perturbative generation approach for scalar-vector theories. We demonstrate explicitly that the dielectric permeability functions must have…
We build a minimal neutral naturalness model in which the top partners are not charged under QCD, with a pseudo Goldstone Higgs arising from $SO(5)/SO(4)$ breaking. The color-neutral top partners generate the Higgs potential radiatively…
We study impurities in integrable models from the viewpoint of generalized hydrodynamics (GHD). An impurity can be thought of as a boundary condition for the GHD equation, relating the state on the left and right side. We find that in…
Impurities, which are inherently present in any real material, may play an important role in the magnetism of frustrated spin systems with spin-liquid ground states. We address the impurity issue in quantum kagome antiferromagnets by…
We construct the boundary conformal field theory that describes the low-temperature behavior of the two-channel Anderson impurity model. The presence of an exactly marginal operator is shown to generate a line of stable fixed points…
Integrable couplings are associated with non-semisimple Lie algebras. In this paper, we propose a new method to generate new integrable systems through making perturbation in matrix spectral problems for integrable couplings, which is…
A point particle approximation to the classical dynamics of well separated vortices of the abelian Higgs model is developed. A static vortex is asymptotically identical to a solution of the linearized field theory (a Klein-Gordon/Proca…
I discuss in these lectures vortex-like classical solutions to the equations of motion of gauge theories with spontaneous symmetry breaking. Starting from the Nielsen-Olesen ansatz for the Abelian Higgs model, extensions to the case in…
We consider magnetic impurities in a two dimensional superfluid Fermi gas in the presence of spin-orbit coupling. By using the methods of t-matrix and Green's function, we find spin-orbit coupling has some dramatic impacts on the effects of…
We discuss vortex solutions of the abelian Higgs model in the limit of large winding number $n$. We suggest a framework where a topological quantum number $n$ is associated with a ratio of dynamical scales and a systematic expansion in…
We study vortices in generalized Maxwell-Higgs models, with the inclusion of a quadratic kinetic term with the covariant derivative of the scalar field in the Lagrangian density. We discuss the stressless condition and show that the…
In gauge theories with an extended Higgs sector the classical equations of motion can have solutions that describe stable, closed finite energy vortices. Such vortices separate two disjoint Higgs vacua, with one of the vacua embedded in the…
We study the vortex lattice dynamics in presence of single impurity as well as random impurities or disorder. We show that in presence of a single impurity the vortex lattice gets distorted and the distortion depends on the position of the…
We study the existence of self-dual nontopological vortices in generalized Maxwell-Higgs models recently introduced in Ref. \cite{gv}. Our investigation is explicitly illustrated by choosing a sixth-order self-interaction potential, which…
We study properties of Z-vortices in the crossover region of the 3D SU(2) Higgs model. Correlators of the vortex currents with gauge field energy and Higgs field squared ("quantum vortex profile") reveal a structure that can be compared…
We study compact configurations with a nontrivial wormholelike spacetime topology supported by a complex ghost scalar field with a quartic self-interaction. For this case, we obtain regular asymptotically flat equilibrium solutions…
Two integrable spin ladder systems with different types of impurities are proposed. The impurities are introduced in such a way that the integrability of the models is not violated. The models are solved exactly and the Bethe ansatz…
