Constrained instantons in scalar field theories

Journal of High Energy Physics
Instantons, localised saddle points of the action, play an important role in describing non-perturbative aspects of quantum field theories, for example vacuum decay or violation of conservation laws associated with anomalous symmetries.

Oscillons in AdS space

Journal of High Energy Physics
We study oscillons in a real scalar field theory in a (3+1)-dimensional AdS space with global coordinates. The initial configuration is given by a Gaussian shape with an appropriate core size as in Minkowski spacetime.

On the EFT of dyon-monopole catalysis

Journal of High Energy Physics
Monopole-fermion (and dyon-fermion) interactions provide a famous example where scattering from a compact object gives a cross section much larger than the object’s geometrical size.

Highly-enhanced propagation of long-range kinks in heterogeneous media

Journal of High Energy Physics
We investigate a field-theoretical model that describes the interaction between kinks and antikinks and between kinks and other heterogeneous fields and impurities.

Hyperbolic monopole data

Journal of High Energy Physics
It is known that hyperbolic monopoles, with a particular value of the curvature, can be obtained from ADHM instanton data that satisfies additional constraints.

Instabilities of gauged Q-balls

Journal of High Energy Physics
We present the first analytical calculation that shows that perturbations with angular dependence can lead to an instability in gauged Q-balls. We find an explicit condition on the parameters for the Q-ball to become unstable.

The metamorphosis of semi-classical mechanisms of confinement: from monopoles on ℝ 3 × S 1 to center-vortices on ℝ 2 × T 2

Journal of High Energy Physics
There are two distinct regimes of Yang-Mills theory where we can demonstrate confinement, the existence of a mass gap, and the multi-branch structure of the effective potential as a function of the theta angle using a reliable semi-classical calculation.
