Noncommutative U(N) gauge theories at different N may be often thought of as different sectors of a single theory: the U(1) theory possesses a sequence of vacua labeled by an integer parameter N, and the theory in the vicinity of the N-th…
A self-gravitating cylindrical domain wall is considered as an example of non-spherical wall to clarify the interaction between a domain wall and gravitational waves. We consider the time evolution from a momentarily static initial…
