Comments on the U(2) Noncommutative Instanton

We discuss the 't Hoof ansatz for instanton solutions in noncommutative U(2) Yang-Mills theory. We show that the extension of the ansatz leading to singular solutions in the commutative case, yields to non self-dual (or self-antidual) configurations in noncommutative space-time. A proposal leading to selfdual solutions with Q=1 topological charge (the equivalent of the regular BPST ansatz) can be engineered, but in that case the gauge field and the curvature are not Hermitian (although the resulting Lagrangian is real).

Self-dual Chern-Simons solitons in noncommutative space

We construct exact soliton solutions to the Chern-Simons-Higgs system in noncommutative space, for non-relativistic and relativistic models. In both cases we find regular vortex-like solutions to the BPS equations which approach the ordinary selfdual non-topological and topological solitons when the noncommutative parameter $θ$ goes to zero.

Nielsen-Olesen vortices in noncommutative space

We construct an exact regular vortex solution to the self-dual equations of the Abelian Higgs model in non-commutative space for arbitrary values of $θ$. To this end, we propose an ansatz which is the analogous, in Fock space, to the one leading to exact solutions for the Nielsen-Olesen vortex in commutative space. We compute the flux and energy of the solution and discuss its relevant properties.

Wess-Zumino-Witten and fermion models in noncommutative space

We analyze the connection between Wess-Zumino-Witten and free fermion models in two-dimensional noncommutative space. Starting from the computation of the determinant of the Dirac operator in a gauge field background, we derive the corresponding bosonization recipe studying, as an example, bosonization of the U(N) Thirring model. Concerning the properties of the noncommutative Wess-Zumino-Witten model, we construct an orbit-preserving transformation that maps the standard commutative WZW action into the noncommutative one.

Self-dual Ginzburg-Landau vortices in a disk

We study the properties of the Ginzburg-Laundau model in the self-dual point for a two-dimensional finite system . By a numerical calculation we analyze the solutions of the Euler-Lagrange equations for a cylindrically symmetric ansatz. We also study the self-dual equations for this case. We find that the minimal energy configurations are not given by the Bogomol'nyi equations but by solutions to the Euler Lagrange ones. With a simple approximation scheme we reproduce the result of the numerical calculation.

Monopole Solutions in AdS Space

We find monopole solutions for a spontaneously broken SU(2)-Higgs system coupled to gravity in asymptotically anti-de Sitter space. We present new analytic and numerical results discussing,in particular, how the gravitational instability of self-gravitating monopoles depends on the value of the cosmological constant.

Remarks on Goldstone bosons and hard thermal loops

The hard thermal loop effective action for Goldstone bosons is deduced by symmetry arguments from the corresponding result for gauge bosons. Pseudoscalar mesons in Chromodynamics and magnons in an antiferromagnet are discussed as special cases, including the hard thermal loop contribution to their scattering.

Monopoles in non-Abelian Dirac-Born-Infeld Theory

We investigate monopole solutions for the Born-Infeld Higgs system. We analyze numerically these solutions and compare them with the standard 't Hooft-Polyakov monopoles. We also discuss the existence of a critical value of beta (the Born-Infeld "absolute field parameter") below which no regular solution exists.

On the Renormalization of Hamiltonians

We introduce a novel method for the renormalization of the Hamiltonian operator in Quantum Field Theory in the spirit of the Wilson renormalization group. By a series of unitary transformations that successively decouples the high-frequency degrees of freedom and partially diagonalizes the high-energy part, we obtain the effective Hamiltonian for the low energy degrees of freedom. We successfully apply this technique to compute the 2-loop renormalized Hamiltonian in scalar $λϕ^4$ theory.

Duality in deformed coset fermionic models

We study the $SU(2)_k/U(1)$-parafermion model perturbed by its first thermal operator. By formulating the theory in terms of a (perturbed) fermionic coset model we show that the model is equivalent to interacting WZW fields modulo free fields. In this scheme, the order and disorder operators of the $Z_k$ parafermion theory are constructed as gauge invariant composites. We find that the theory presents a duality symmetry that interchanges the roles of the spin and dual spin operators. For two particular values of the coupling constant we find that the theory recovers conformal invariance and the gauge symmetry is enlarged. We also find a novel self-dual point.

Thirring Model with Non-conserved Chiral Charge

We study the Abelian Thirring Model when the fermionic fields have non-conserved chiral charge: $Δ{\cal Q}_5 =N$. One of the main features we find for this model is the dependence of the Virasoro central charge on both the Thirring coupling constant and $N$. We show how to evaluate correlation functions and in particular we compute the conformal dimensions for fermions and fermionic bilinears, which depend on the fermionic chiral charge. Finally we build primary fields with arbitrary conformal weight.
