In this paper we study the scattering of massive fermions off of smooth, spherically symmetric monopoles in $4d$ $SU(2)$ gauge theory. We propose a complete physical picture of the monopole-fermion interaction which encompasses all angular…
We reconsider the problem of electrically charged, massless fermions scattering off magnetic monopoles. The interpretation of the outgoing states has long been a puzzle as, in certain circumstances, they necessarily carry fractional quantum…
The scattering of Dirac fermions in the background fields of topological solitons of the $(2+1)$-dimensional nonlinear $O(3)$ $\sigma$-model is studied using both analytical and numerical methods. General formulae describing fermion…
In this paper, we study the dynamics of a system of infinitely many fermions in dimensions $d\geq3$ near thermal equilibrium and prove scattering in the case of small perturbation around equilibrium in a certain generalized Sobolev space of…
We propose a four-dimensional interpretation of the outgoing state of the scattering of a massless fermion off a Dirac monopole. It has been known that such a state has fractional fermion numbers and is necessarily outside the Fock space on…
We critically reexamine the gravitational scattering of scalar particles on a global monopole studied recently. The original investigation of Mazur and Papavassiliou is extended by considering different couplings of the scalar field to the…
The scattering of Dirac fermions on the sine-Gordon kink is studied both analytically and numerically. To achieve invariance with respect to a discrete symmetry, the sine-Gordon model is treated as a nonlinear $\sigma$-model with a circular…
We consider all magnetic monopoles that could have settled in the Standard Model after descending from a generic microscopic theory. These monopoles have Standard Model quantum numbers, are stable, and we also require that their magnetic…
The scattering of massless fermions on a one-dimensional Q-ball is studied both analytically and numerically in the background field approximation. The wave functions of the fermionic scattering states are found in analytical form. General…
We study the scattering of scalar waves propagating on the global monopole background. Since the scalar wave operator in this topological defect is not essentially self-adjoint, its solutions are not uniquely determined until a boundary…
A mechanism for determining fermion masses in four spacetime dimensions is presented, which uses a scalar-field domain wall extending in a fifth spacelike dimension and a special choice of Yukawa coupling constants. A bounded and discrete…
The scattering of fermions in the background field of a topological soliton of the modified $(2 + 1)$-dimensional $\mathbb{CP}^{1}$ model is studied here both analytically and numerically. Unlike the original $\mathbb{CP}^{1}$ model, the…
Using mean-field theory, we study the equilibrium properties of boson-fermion mixtures confined in a harmonic pancake-shaped trap at zero temperature. When the modulus of the s-wave scattering lengths are comparable to the mixture…
Worldline techniques are employed to study the general behaviour of the fermion-fermion collision amplitude at very high energies in a non-abelian gauge field theory for the forward and fixed angle scattering cases. A central objective of…
We investigate the cosmological evolution of global monopoles in the radiation dominated (RD) and matter dominated (MD) universes by numerically solving field equations of scalar fields. It is shown that the global monopole network relaxes…
We consider scattering processes involving massless fermions and 't Hooft-Polyakov magnetic monopoles in a minimal SU(2) model and in the Grand Unified SU(5) theory. We construct expressions for on-shell amplitudes for these processes in…
We study Polchinski's "fermion-rotor system" as an accurate description of charged Weyl fermions scattering on a magnetic monopole core in the limit of zero gauge coupling. Traditionally it was thought such scattering could lead to…
We consider systems of two-component fermions with unequal masses and interacting via a short-range attractive potential. We discuss the case where the two-component fermions form a shallow dimer with large scattering length. The…
The generalization of the conformal scattering method for small-angle scattering processes involving magnetic monopoles and ordinary charges is constructed. Using this generalization we show that introducing of magnetic charges corresponds…
The scattering of Dirac fermions in the background fields of topological solitons of the $(2+1)$-dimensional $\mathbb{CP}^{N-1}$ model is studied using analytical and numerical methods. It is shown that the exact solutions for fermionic…
