Quantum chromodynamics

W Marciano, H Pagels - Physics Reports, 1978 - Elsevier
Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) is a quantum field theory of the strong interaction with
non-abelian gauge fields mediating the interactions between quarks. The experimentally …

Topological field theory of time-reversal invariant insulators

XL Qi, TL Hughes, SC Zhang - Physical Review B—Condensed Matter and …, 2008 - APS
We show that the fundamental time-reversal invariant (TRI) insulator exists in 4+ 1
dimensions, where the effective-field theory is described by the (4+ 1)-dimensional Chern …

Solitons with fermion number ½

R Jackiw, C Rebbi - Physical Review D, 1976 - APS
We study the structure of soliton-monopole systems when Fermi fields are present. We show
that the existence of a nondegenerate, isolated, zero-energy, c-number solution of the Dirac …

The stability of classical solutions

EB Bogomol'Nyi - Sov. J. Nucl. Phys.(Engl. Transl.);(United States), 1976 - osti.gov
The values of the masses of classical solutions of the string type for.. beta..= 1 and of the
monopole or dyon type for.. beta-->.. 0 have been obtained analytically. The parameter …

Concept of nonintegrable phase factors and global formulation of gauge fields

TT Wu, CN Yang - Physical Review D, 1975 - APS
Through an examination of the Bohm-Aharonov experiment an intrinsic and complete
description of electromagnetism in a space-time region is formulated in terms of a …

Dyons of charge eθ/2π

E Witten - Physics Letters B, 1979 - Elsevier
It is shown that in CP non-conserving theories, the electric charge of an't Hooft-Polyakov
magnetic monopole will not ordinarily be integral, or even rational in units of the …

Magnetic monopoles as gauge particles?

C Montonen, D Olive - Physics Letters B, 1977 - Elsevier
We present evidence for the following conjecture: when quantized, the magnetic monopole
soliton solutions constructed by't Hooft and Polyakov, as modified by Prasad, Sommerfield …

Zero modes of the vortex-fermion system

R Jackiw, P Rossi - Nuclear Physics B, 1981 - Elsevier
Electric charge of a fermion that is coupled only to the gauge field of an abelian vortex need
not be quantized, in contrast the situation for a magnetic monopole field. Correspondingly …
