### Non-Abelian vortex in four dimensions as a critical superstring

• Physics
• 2016
We discuss recent progress in describing a certain non-Abelian vortex string as a critical superstring on a conifold and clarify some subtle points. This particular solitonic vortex is supported in

As was shown recently, non-Abelian vortex strings supported in four-dimensional ${\cal N}=2$ supersymmetric QCD with the U(2) gauge group and $N_f=4$ quark multiplets (flavors) become critical

• 2016
Non-Abelian vortex strings supported in a certain four-dimensional $\mathcal{N}=2$ Yang-Mills theory with fundamental matter were shown [1] to become critical superstrings. In addition to

• 2019
Abstract Quite often the zero mode dynamics on solitonic vortices are described by a non-conformal effective world-sheet sigma model (WSSM). We address the problem of solitonic string quantization

We describe new solutions of Yang-Mills-Higgs theories consisting of magnetic monopoles in a phase with fully broken gauge symmetry. Rather than spreading out radially, the magnetic field lines form

The effective conformal field theory governing the long-distance dynamics of string solitions in four dimensions, such as the Nielsen-Olesen vortex or QCD strings, is described. It is an interacting
