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…
The effect of fermionic string conductivity by purely right (or purely left) moving ``zero modes'' is shown to be governed by a simple Lagrangian characterising a certain ``chiral'' (null current carrying) string model whose dynamical…
We study an exactly solvable one-dimensional spin-$\frac{1}{2}$ model which can support weak zero modes in its ground state manifold. The spin chain has staggered XXZ-type and ZZ-type spin interaction on neighboring bonds and is thus dubbed…
The relation between shapes of cosmic string and baryon number violation is investigated. If there exist fermionic zero modes on the string, using bosonization technique, it is possible to obtain the effective action which describes the…
We generalize the Jackiw-Rebbi-Hasenfratz-'t Hooft construction of fermions from bosons to demonstrate the fermionic nature of certain bound states involving SU(N) instantons in even spatial dimensions and SO(N) instantons in $8k+1$ spatial…
The dynamical evolution of superconducting cosmic string loops with specific equations of state describing timelike and spacelike currents is studied numerically. This analysis extends previous work in two directions: first it shows results…
We analyze zero energy solutions of the Dirac equation in the background of a string-like configuration in an extension of the standard model which accommodates the most general fermionic mass matrix for neutrinos. If either the left- or…
An axion cosmic string is known to be a chiral superconductor when the axion couples to an electrically charged fermion. After the QCD phase transition, a QCD axion string is attached by $N$ domain walls. We would like to elucidate the fate…
We consider a toroidal configuration of cosmic string in 3+1 dimensions in an abelian Higgs model, a compactification of the Nielsen-Olesen string. This object is classically unstable. We explicitly compute the number of permitted zero…
In the first part of this paper I review the construction of the realistic free fermionic models, as well as current attempts to study aspects of these models in the nonperturbative framework of M- and F-theories. I discuss the recent…
We show that there exist massive perturbative states of the ten dimensional Green-Schwarz closed superstring that are stabilized against collapse due to presence of fermionic zero modes on its worldsheet. The excited fermionic degrees of…
We provide a thorough exposition of recent results on the quantum stabilization of cosmic strings. Stabilization occurs through the coupling to a heavy fermion doublet in a reduced version of the standard model. The study combines the…
A solution of the standard electroweak theory with a single lepton family is constructed, consisting of a cosmic string and a fermion condensate within its core. The stability of this system to small perturbations is examined, and it is…
The influence on cosmic string dynamics of fermionic massive bound states propagating in the vortex, and getting their mass only from coupling to the string forming Higgs field, is studied. Such massive fermionic currents are numerically…
We calculate the NS-R fermionic zero-norm states of type II string spectrum. The massless and some possible massive zero-norm states are identified to be responsible for the space-time supersymmetry. The existence of other fermionic massive…
We consider a system of composite bosons given by strongly bound fermion pairs tunneling through sites that form a low-dimensional network. It has been shown that the ground state of this system can have condensate-like properties in the…
In this article, we investigate zero-modes for a dynamical (rotating-moving) D$p$-brane, coupled to the electromagnetic and tachyonic background fields. This work is done by the boundary state methods, in three cases of bosonic and…
Two new effects of interaction of the gauge string with a homogeneous density of fermions are considered in a gauge model with an anomalous coupling of vector fields with fermions. First, the presence of an induced nonzero magnetic-like…
String theory is the leading contemporary framework to explore the synthesis of quantum mechanics with gravity. String phenomenology aims to study string theory while maintaining contact with observational data. The fermionic $Z_2\times…
In the minimal standard model we discuss stability of the Z-string configuration, which includes the zero mode connected with the broken gauge symmetry. The zero mode induces charge and current on the string and gives backreaction to the…
