Motivated by experiments on rhombohedral tetralayer graphene showing signs of superconductivity emerging from a valley-polarized normal state, we here analyze theoretically how scanning tunneling spectroscopy can be used to probe the…
We present a progress report on the use of normalizing flows for generating gauge field configurations in pure SU(N) gauge theories. We discuss how the singular value decomposition can be used to construct gauge-invariant quantities, which…
I propose a superconductivity model, which is based on the assumption that stripes in high-Tc cuprates (a) exist and (b) organize themselves in a two-dimensional superstructure. The model describes hole states, which are localized either…
A review is presented of what we understand of colour confinement in QCD. Lattice formulation provides evidence that QCD vacuum is a dual superconductor: the chromoelectric field of a $q\bar q$ pair is constrained by dual Meissner effect…
A classical SU(2) Einstein-Yang-Mills theory in 3+1 dimensional anti-de Sitter spacetime is believed to be dual to a p-wave superconductor in 2+1 dimensional flat spacetime. In order to calculate the superconductiong coherence length $\xi$…
Momentum relaxation can be built into many holographic models without sacrificing homogeneity of the bulk solution. In this paper we study two such models: one in which translational invariance is broken in the dual theory by…
In this article we will discuss numerical results on screening masses and thermodynamic quantities in 2 + 1 dimensional SU(3) gauge theory. We will also compare them to perturbation theory and the dimensionally reduced model.
We extend our earlier calculations of the spectrum of closed flux tubes in SU(N) gauge theories in 2+1 dimensions, with a focus on questions raised by recent theoretical progress on the effective string action of long flux tubes and the…
The colour fields, created by a static gluon-quark-antiquark system, are computed in quenched SU(3) lattice QCD, in a $24^3\times 48$ lattice at $\beta=6.2$ and $a=0.07261(85)\,fm$. We compute the hybrid Wilson Loop including the cases when…
The London penetration depth plays a key role in determining and uncovering many properties of a superconductor, including homogeneity, anisotropy, isotope effects, importance of quantum and thermal fluctuations, and facets of the nature of…
Coherent one photon ($2 \omega$) and two photon ($ \omega$) electronic excitations are studied for graphene sheets and for carbon nanotubes using a long wavelength theory for the low energy electronic states. For graphene sheets we find…
The magnetic vortices which arise in SU(2) lattice gauge theory in center projection are visualized for a given time slice. We establish that the number of vortices piercing a given 2-dimensional sheet is a renormalization group invariant…
Based on a model of the d=3 SU(2) pure gauge theory vacuum as a monopole-vortex condensate, we give a quantitative (if model-dependent) estimate of the relation between the string tension and a gauge-invariant measure of the Chern-Simons…
We determine the topological susceptibility in the SU(3) pure gauge theory. We perform a series of high-statistics lattice studies and take the combined continuum and infinite volume limit. We find chi_{top}r_0^4=0.0524(7)(6) which…
This paper provides an explicit formula for the approximate solution of the static London equations. These equations describe the currents and magnetic fields in a Type-I superconductor. We represent the magnetic field as a 2-form and the…
Applying the London theory we study curved vortices produced by an external current near and parallel to the surface of a type II superconductor. By minimizing the energy functional we find the contour describing the hard core of the flux…
We use 3D radiative MHD simulations to investigate the formation and dynamics of small-scale (less than 0.5 Mm in diameter) vortex tubes spontaneously generated by turbulent convection in quiet-Sun regions with initially weak mean magnetic…
In this paper we develop a formalism to describe a superfluid in a gravitational background. This formalism is based on a covariant generalization of the field description for a superconductor in terms of a U(1) spontaneous symmetry…
We compute the dimensionally regularised four-loop vacuum energy density of the SU(N_c) gauge + adjoint Higgs theory, in the disordered phase. ``Scalarisation'', or reduction to a small set of master integrals of the type appearing in…
We compute energies and energy densities of static electromagnetic flux tubes in three and four spacetime dimensions. Our calculation uses scattering data from the potential induced by the flux tube and imposes standard perturbative…
