$φ^4$理论中的纽结
An introduction to kinks in $φ^4$-theory
摘要：
作为在整个物理学的不同领域出现的低能有效模型，无处不在的$φ^4$理论是现代理论物理学的核心模型之一。它的拓扑缺陷，或扭结，描述了稳定的，类似粒子的激发，在从宇宙学到粒子物理学和凝聚态理论的过程中发挥着核心作用。在这些课堂讲稿中，我们将介绍在$φ^4$理论中扭结的描述，以及支配其动力学的各种物理过程。这些笔记是针对高年级的本科生，重点放在刺激质的洞察力，丰富的现象学扭结动力学遇到。附录包含更详细的推导，并允许学生也获得了定量的理解。涵盖的主题包括稳定解的拓扑分类、扭结碰撞、生物子的形成、扭结的共振散射以及扭结与杂质的相互作用。
英文摘要：
As a low-energy effective model emerging in disparate fields throughout all of physics, the ubiquitous $φ^4$-theory is one of the central models of modern theoretical physics. Its topological defects, or kinks, describe stable, particle-like excitations that play a central role in processes ranging from cosmology to particle physics and condensed matter theory. In these lecture notes, we introduce the description of kinks in $φ^4$-theory and the various physical processes that govern their dynamics. The notes are aimed at advanced undergraduate students, and emphasis is placed on stimulating qualitative insight into the rich phenomenology encountered in kink dynamics. The appendices contain more detailed derivations, and allow enquiring students to also obtain a quantitative understanding. Topics covered include the topological classification of stable solutions, kink collisions, the formation of bions, resonant scattering of kinks, and kink-impurity interactions.
