We study domain-wall networks on the surface of q-stars in asymptotically flat or anti de Sitter spacetime. We provide numerical solutions for the whole phase space of the stable field configurations and find that the mass, radius and…
Domain wall networks on the surface of a soliton are studied in a simple theory. It consists of two complex scalar fields, in (3+1)-dimensions, with a global U(1) x Z_n symmetry, where n>2. Solutions are computed numerically in which one of…
The domain wall approach to lattice fermions employs an additional dimension, in which gauge fields are merely replicated, to separate the chiral components of a Dirac fermion. It is known that in the limit of infinite separation in this…
In this work we study oscillating soliton stars (oscillatons) with network of domain walls. We consider a Lagrangian with three scalar fields coupled among themselves by a specific potential. We choose an appropriate potential to admit the…
We study the formation of domain walls in a phase transition in which an S_5\times Z_2 symmetry is spontaneously broken to S_3\times S_2. In one compact spatial dimension we observe the formation of a stable domain wall lattice. In two…
We report a stable magnetic domain wall in a uniform ferromagnetic spin-1 condensate, characterized by the magnetization having a dark soliton profile with nonvanishing superfluid density. We find exact stationary solutions for a particular…
Fermion zero modes of Bogomol'nyi-Prasad-Sommerfield monopole-string-domain wall composites in three spatial dimensions are studied. We analytically solve the Dirac equation and prove the existence of one fermion zero mode. Depending on…
We consider a cosmogony with a dark matter component consisting of a network of frustrated domain walls. Such a network provides a solid dark matter component with $p=-(2/3)\rho $ that remains unclustered on small scales and with…
The inherently unstable nature of domain walls makes their detection in laboratory experiments extremely challenging. We propose a method to stabilise domain walls in a particular modified gravity model inside a cavity. We suggest two ways…
Motivated by Grand Unification, we study the properties of domain walls formed in a model with $SU(5)\times Z_2$ symmetry which is spontaneously broken to $SU(3) \times SU(2) \times U(1)/Z_6$, and subsequently to $SU(3) \times U(1)/Z_3$.…
We theoretically investigate the ground states of a chiral magnet with a square anisotropy and show that it supports domain wall networks as stable ground states. A domain wall junction in the domain wall network turns out to be a skyrmion…
The evolution of a soliton star filled with fermions is studied in the framework of general relativity. Such a system can be described by the surface tension $\sigma$, the bag constant $B$, and the fermion number density $\rho_{0}$. Usually…
We consider interactions of fermions with the domain wall bubbles produced during a first order phase transition. A new exact solution of the Dirac equations is obtained for a wall profile incorporating a position dependent phase factor.…
We show that axion domain wall is ferromagnetic in the universe with nonvanishing baryon number or lepton number. It is caused by protons and electrons bounded to the domain wall with their spins aligned. These bound states arise due to…
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…
Domain wall networks in the early universe, formed upon spontaneous breaking of a discrete symmetry, have a rich impact on cosmology. Yet, they remain somewhat unexplored. We introduce a new analytic strategy to understand better the domain…
Fermi Ball is a kind of nontopological soliton with fermions trapped in its domain wall, and is suggested to arises from the spontaneous symmetry breaking of the approximate $Z_2$ symmetry in the early universe. We find that the neutral…
The ensemble of Euclidean gluon field configurations represented by the domain wall network is considered. A single domain wall is given by the sine-Gordon kink for the angle between chromomagnetic and chromoelectric components of the gauge…
Domain wall fermions are defined on a lattice with an extra direction the size of which controls the chiral properties of the theory. When gauge fields are coupled to domain wall fermions the extra direction is treated as an internal flavor…
I discuss the zeromode spectrum of lattice chiral fermions in the domain wall model suggested recently. In particular I give the critical momenta where the fermions cease to be chiral and show that the spectrum is directly related to the…
