Abstract

In this work, we present a general procedure, which is able to generate new exact solitonic models in 1+1 dimensions, from a known one, consisting of two coupled scalar fields. An interesting consequence of the method, is that of the appearing of nontrivial extensions, where the deformed systems presents other BPS solitons than that appearing in the original model. Finally we take a particular example, in order to check the above mentioned features.

Symmetry-Restoring Counter-terms in Massive Gauge Theories with Non-Anticommuting $γ_5$ via Gauge-Invariant Sector Decomposition

We compute the one-loop breaking of the Slavnov-Taylor (ST) identities in a massive Abelian chiral gauge theory with spontaneous symmetry breaking, regularized in the Breitenlohner-Maison-`t Hooft-Veltman (BMHV) scheme. We also provide the one-loop finite counter-terms required to restore the one-loop ST identities. The recent formulation of spontaneously broken models based on the Fröhlich-Morchio-Strocchi (FMS) gauge-invariant and dynamical (i.e. propagating inside loops) fields is used. The proposed algebraic approach holds true to all orders in the loop expansion and allows for a consistent decomposition of the ST breaking into independent sectors. By using cohomological techniques we eventually constrain the dependence of the ST breaking on the vacuum expectation value of the Higgs field. This yields a set of differential equations that provide a useful check of the mass-dependent terms in the ST breaking terms in the broken phase. They can be generalized to the non-Abelian case, both in the gauge-invariant formalism and in the conventional one. In the massless limit we find agreement with previous calculations present in the literature.

Characteristic Modes of Non-minimally Coupled Thick Branes

Characteristic modes provide important information about the intrinsic properties and dynamical response of gravitational systems. In this work, we investigate characteristic modes of thick branes with a non-minimally coupled bulk scalar field. Two representative thick brane solutions are considered, corresponding to a single-kink scalar configuration and a deformed kink configuration with internal structure, respectively. By analyzing the tensor perturbation equations, we first examine the localization of the graviton zero mode in the two brane models. For both brane models, the graviton zero mode is localized on the brane. No pronounced resonant Kaluza--Klein (KK) modes are found for the single-kink brane at $ξ=1/7$. For the deformed brane, we investigate the resonant KK modes at $ξ=0.99$, finding that increasing the deformation parameter $k$ leads to more resonant modes and a longer-lived first resonance. We then calculate the quasinormal modes (QNMs) of both brane models independently in the frequency and time domains. The quasinormal frequencies (QNFs) obtained by the independent methods agree well for the low overtones. The masses and decay rates of the resonant KK modes agree closely with the real parts and the magnitudes of the imaginary parts of the corresponding QNFs, respectively.

Haagerup conformal field theory at central charge eight

We construct a chiral algebra $U$ of central charge eight inside the lattice vertex operator algebra $V_{E_6\oplus A_2}$. It is generated by two commuting affine $\mathfrak{sl}_2$ current algebras at levels $1$ and $39$, the stress tensor of the lattice theory, and a single weight-two field built from three lattice exponentials. We announce that $U$ is strongly rational and completely unitary, and that $Rep(U)$ is equivalent, as a unitary ribbon category, to the Drinfeld center $Z(\mathcal{H}_3)$ of the Haagerup fusion category $\mathcal{H}_3$. Its characters are the $γ=0$ Evans--Gannon vector. From $U$ we obtain a diagonal full CFT, and also a holomorphic $E_8$ extension on which $\mathcal{H}_3$ acts by topological defects.
