希格斯相中的非阿贝尔单极

Non-Abelian Monopoles in the Higgs Phase

Muneto Nitta, Walter Vinci

摘要:

利用模矩阵方法研究了在N = 2超对称U(N)规范理论的Higgs相中,当物质超多重态的质量为非零时,涡旋支持的1/4 BPS扭结的模空间.我们集中在退化质量的情况下。在这些特殊情况下,旋涡获得新的方向自由度,并成为“非阿贝尔”。扭结也获得了新的自由度,我们称之为“非阿贝尔”。正如在阿贝尔情形中已经注意到的那样,非阿贝尔扭结必须对应于SU(N)杨-米尔斯的完整相位的非阿贝尔单极子。在某些特殊情况下,我们证明了两个对象的模空间是一一对应的。我们认为,在最一般的情况下,对应成立。我们的结果的后果是双重的。首先,它给出了另一种方法来构造非阿贝尔单极子,除了其他众所周知的技术(Nahm变换,谱曲线,有理映射)。第二,通过考虑更简单的非阿贝尔扭结,它为研究非阿贝尔单极子的量子物理开辟了道路。

英文摘要:

We use the moduli matrix approach to study the moduli space of 1/4 BPS kinks supported by vortices in the Higgs phase of N = 2 supersymmetric U(N) gauge theories when non-zero masses for the matter hypermultiplets are introduced. We focus on the case of degenerate masses. In these special cases vortices acquire new orientational degrees of freedom, and become "non-Abelian". Kinks acquire new degrees of freedom too, and we will refer to them as "non-Abelian". As already noticed for the Abelian case, non-Abelian kinks must correspond to non-Abelian monopoles of the unbroken phase of SU(N) Yang-Mills. We show, in some special cases, that the moduli spaces of the two objects are in one-to-one correspondence. We argue that the corre- spondence holds in the most general case. The consequence of our result is two-fold. First, it gives an alternative way to construct non-Abelian monopoles, in addition to other well- known techniques (Nahm transform, spectral curves, rational maps). Second, it opens the way to the study of the quantum physics of non- Abelian monopoles, by considering the simpler non-Abelian kinks.
