Anomalous non-conservation of fermion/chiral number in Abelian gauge theories at finite temperature

A bstractWe discuss the non-conservation of fermion number (or chirality breaking, depending on the fermionic charge assignment) in Abelian gauge theories at finite temperature. We study different…

Stationary ring solitons in field theory - knots and vortons

Dilaton-assisted generation of the Fermi scale from the Planck scale

In scale-invariant theories of gravity the Planck mass $M_P$, which appears due to spontaneous symmetry breaking, can be the only scale at the classical level. It was argued that the second scale can…

Experimental and Theoretical Evidence for Extended Particle Models

We review the experimental searches on those interactions where the fundamental particles could exhibit a non point-like behavior. In particular we focus on the QED reaction measuring the…

Class of scalar-field soliton solutions in three space dimensions

A class of three-space-dimensional soliton solutions is given; these solitons are made of scalar fields and are of a nontopological nature. The necessary conditions for having such soliton solutions…

Induced Chern-Simons terms at high temperatures and finite densities.

The CP nonconserving portion of the gauge-field effective action for an even number of left-handed SU(2) fermion doublets, with nonzero chemical potentials ..mu../sup i/, is calculated to leading…

Stable knot-like structures in classical field theory

In 1867, Lord Kelvin proposed that atoms—then considered to be elementary particles—could be described as knotted vortex tubes in either1. For almost two decades, this idea motivated an extensive…

Hopf solitons on S**3 and R**3

The Skyrme-Faddeev system, a modified O(3) sigma model in three space dimensions, admits topological solitons with nonzero Hopf number. One may learn something about these solitons by considering the…

Vacuum Periodicity in a Yang-Mills Quantum Theory

We propose a description of the vacuum in Yang-Mills theory and arrive at a physical interpretation of the pseudoparticle solution and the attendant violation of symmetries. The existence of…
