Numerical Nahm transform for 2-caloron solutions

A new numerical method for performing the Nahm transform for charge k=2 caloron is presented. The Weyl equations with boundary impurities are solved directly and the determination of the appropriate basis to the linear system is established. The action densities of the 2-calorons with 10 moduli parameters are shown.     

Statistical Nature of Skyrme-Faddeev Models in 2+1 Dimensions and Normalizable Fermions

Theoretical and Mathematical Physics - The Skyrme-Faddeev model has planar soliton solutions with the target space ?PN. An Abelian Chern-Simons term (the Hopf term) in the Lagrangian of the...     

Regular and Black Hole Skyrmions with Axisymmetry

It has been known that a B=2 skyrmion is axially symmetric. We consider the Skyrme model coupled to gravity and obtain static axially symmetric regular and black hole solutions numerically. Computing the energy density of the skyrmion, we discuss the effect of gravity to the energy density and baryon density of the skyrmion.     

Soliton solutions in an effective action for SU(2) Yang—Mills theory: including effects of higher-derivative term

The Skyrme-Faddeev-Niemi (SFN) model, which is an O(3) σ model in three dimensional space, upto fourth-order in the first derivative is regarded as a low-energy effective theory of SU(2) Yang-Mills theory. One can show from the Wilsonian renormalization group argument that the effective action of Yang-Mills theory recovers the SFN in the infrared region. However, the theory contains an additional fourth-order term which destabilizes the soliton solution. In this paper, we derive the second-derivative term perturbatively and show that the SFN model with the second-derivative term possesses soliton solutions. Presented at the International Colloquium “Integrable Systems and Quantum Symmetries”, Prague, 16–18 June 2005.     

Two-dimensional array of room-temperature nanophotonic logic gates using InAs quantum dots in mesa structures

We present a detailed study of the dynamics of light in passive nonlinear resonators with shallow and deep intracavity periodic modulation of the refractive index in both longitudinal and transverse directions of the resonator. We investigate solutions localized in the transverse direction (so-called Bloch cavity solitons) by means of envelope equations for underlying linear Bloch modes and solving Maxwell’s equations directly. Using a round-trip model for forward and backward propagating waves we review different types of Bloch cavity solitons supported by both focusing (at normal diffraction) and defocussing (at anomalous diffraction) nonlinearities in a cavity with a weak-contrast modulation of the refractive index. Moreover, we identify Bloch cavity solitons in a Kerr-nonlinear all-photonic crystal resonator solving Maxwell’s equations directly. In order to analyze the properties of Bloch cavity solitons and to obtain analytical access we develop a modified mean-field model and prove its validity. In particular, we demonstrate a substantial narrowing of Bloch cavity solitons near the zero-diffraction regime. Adjusting the quality factor and resonance frequencies of the resonator optimal Bloch cavity solitons in terms of width and pump energy are identified.     

Cyclic calorons

The Nahm data of periodic instantons, often called calorons, with spatial _CN$C_N$-symmetries are considered, by applying Sutcliffe?s ansatz for the monopoles with _CN$C_N$-symmetries. The bulk data of calorons are shown to enjoy the periodic Toda lattice, and the solutions are given in terms of elliptic theta functions. The case of N=3$N=3$ calorons are investigated in detail. It is found that the “scale parameters” of these calorons have upper bounds in their values, so that they do not have the large scale, or monopole, limits. The instanton limit of the _C3$C_3$-symmetric caloron is obtained.
