It is shown that contrary to a recent claim in the literature, the domain walls made of scalar field are diamagnetic due to presence of massless fermionic modes on the wall. The diamagnetism vanishes at high temperature. Thus the domain…
We comment on the recent preprint hep-ph/0007123 by M.B. Voloshin, claiming that domain walls are diamagnetic. We show that the results presented therein are based on an incorrect treatment of the zero mode contribution to the vacuum energy…
