Supersymmetric Solitons Paperback / softback
by M. (University of Minnesota) Shifman, A. (University of Minnesota) Yung
Part of the Cambridge Monographs on Mathematical Physics series
Paperback / softback
Description
In the last decade methods and techniques based on supersymmetry have provided deep insights in quantum chromodynamics and other non-supersymmetric gauge theories at strong coupling.
This book summarizes major advances in critical solitons in supersymmetric theories, and their implications for understanding basic dynamical regularities of non-supersymmetric theories.
After an extended introduction on the theory of critical solitons, including a historical introduction, the authors focus on three topics: non-Abelian strings and confined monopoles; reducing the level of supersymmetry; and domain walls as D-brane prototypes.
They also provide a thorough review of issues at the cutting edge, such as non-Abelian flux tubes.
The book presents an extensive summary of the current literature so researchers in this field can understand the background and related issues.
First published in 2009, this title has been reissued as an Open Access publication on Cambridge Core.
