It has been shown that non-Abelian vortex string supported in four dimensional (4D) N = 2 supersymmetric QCD (SQCD) with the U(2) gauge group and Nf = 4 quark flavors becomes a critical superstring.
The vacuum of supersymmetric gauge theories (SQCD) with N=2 softly broken to N=1 resembles that of a BCS superconductor in that it has a condensate which collimates flux into vortices, leading to

It has been shown that non-Abelian solitonic vortex strings supported in four-dimensional (4D)N = 2 supersymmetric QCD (SQCD) with the U(N = 2) gauge group and Nf = 4 quark flavors behave as critical
This thesis is devoted to studying strong coupling phenomena (and confinement in particular) in supersymmetric gauge theories. The central object of investigation is the non-Abelian string that is

A novel feature of vortex solutions for a spontaneously broken SU(N) theory is that their electric charge q is quantized in units of the fundamental charge e, q=mne/ \ensuremath{\surd}2N , with m-Z, and their angular momentum J is nonzero and also quantized, J=nm/2N.
