We study the effect of critical fluctuations on the $(B,T)$ phase diagram in extreme type-II superconductors in zero and finite magnetic field using large-scale Monte Carlo simulations on the Ginzburg-Landau model in a frozen gauge…
We construct an approximate solution of field equations in the Abelian Higgs model which describes motion of a curved vortex. The solution is found to the first order in the inverse mass of the Higgs field with the help of the…
A new local and gauge invariant quantum vortex operator is constructed in three-dimensional gauge field theories. The correlation functions of this operator are evaluated exactly in pure Maxwell theory and by means of a loop expansion in…
The non-compact lattice version of the Abelian Higgs model is studied in terms of its topological excitations. The Villain form of the partition function is represented as a sum over world-sheets of gauge-invariant ``vortex'' strings. The…
By considering full-field string solutions of the Abelian--Higgs model, we modify the model of a fluid of strings (which is composed of Nambu strings) to obtain a model for a ``fluid of vortices.'' With this model, and following closely…
The fluctuations of spacetime geometries at finite temperature are evaluated within the linearized theory of gravity. These fluctuations are described by the probability distribution of various configurations of the gravitational field. The…
The regular solutions for the Ginzburg-Landau (-Nielsen-Olesen) Abelian gauge model are studied numerically. We consider the static isolated cylindrically symmetric configurations. The well known (Abrikosov) vortices, which present a…
We study topological vortex solutions in a generalized Abelian Higgs model with non-polynomial dielectric and potential functions. These quantities are chosen by requiring integrability of the self-dual limit of the theory for all values of…
Vortex lines in superconductors in an external magnetic field slightly tilted from randomly-distributed parallel columnar defects can be modeled by a system of interacting bosons in a non-Hermitian vector potential and a random scalar…
The quantum vacuum fluctuations of a neutral scalar field induced by background zero-range potentials concentrated on a flat hyperplane of co-dimension $1$ in $(d+1)$-dimensional Minkowski spacetime are investigated. Perfectly reflecting…
A possible electric-magnetic duality suggests that the confinement of non-Abelian electric charges manifests itself as a perturbative quantum effect for the dual magnetic charges. Motivated by this possibility, we study vacuum fluctuations…
Measurements of CMB temperature fluctuations by the Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP) indicate that the fluctuation amplitude in one half of the sky differs from the amplitude in the other half. We show that such an asymmetry…
The dynamics of two dimensional (2D) vortex fluctuations are investigated through simulations of the 2D Coulomb gas model in which vortices are represented by soft disks with logarithmic interactions. The simulations trongly support a…
We investigate the impact of quantum fluctuations on a light rolling quintessence field from three different sources, namely, from a coupling to the standard model and dark matter, from its self-couplings and from its coupling to gravity.…
We discuss the nondissipative Magnus-type force acting on linear defects in Fermi systems, such as Abrikosov vortices in superconductors, singular and continuous vortices in superfluid phases of $^3$He, magnetic vortices and skyrmions in…
The partition function of a two dimensional Abelian gauge model reproducing magnetic vortices is discussed in the harmonic approximation. Classical solutions exhibit conformal invariance, that is broken by statistical fluctuations, apart…
A Regge--Wheeler analysis is performed for a novel black hole mimicker `the regular black hole with asymptotically Minkowski core', followed by an approximation of the permitted quasi-normal modes for propagating waveforms. A first-order…
The flux-tube solution in the dual Ginzburg-Landau (DGL) theory in the Bogomol'nyi limit is studied by using the manifestly Weyl invariant form of the DGL Lagrangian. The dual gauge symmetry is extended to $[U(1)]_m^3$, and accordingly,…
We present ans\"{a}tze that reduce the mass-deformed ABJM model to gauged Abelian scalar theories, using the fuzzy sphere matrices $G^\alpha$. One such reduction gives a Toda system, for which we find a new type of nonabelian vortex.…
We study the effect that quantum fluctuations produced during the nucleation of a single-bubble open inflationary universe have on the amplitude of temperature anisotropies in the microwave background. We compute the instanton action for…
