Monopole condensation in two-flavour Adjoint QCD
No full textSUMMARY In QCD with adjoint fermions (aQCD) the deconfining transition takes place at
a lower temperature than the chiral transition. We study the two transitions by
use of the Polyakov Loop, the monopole order parameter and the chiral
condensate. The deconfining transition is first order, the chiral is a
crossover. The order parameters for confinement are not affected by the chiral
transition. We conclude that the degrees of freedom relevant to confinement are
different from those describing chiral symmetry
Non-Abelian Vortices without Dynamical Abelianization
No full textVortices carrying truly non-Abelian flux moduli, which do not dynamically
reduce to Abelian vortices, are found in the context of softly-broken supersymmetric chromodynamics (SQCD). By tuning the bare quark masses
appropriately we identify the vacuum in which the underlying SU(N) gauge group
is partially broken to SU(n) \times SU(r) \times U(1)/{\mathbbm Z}_{K}, where
is the least common multiple of , and with and
flavors of light quark multiplets. At much lower energies the
gauge group is broken completely by the squark VEVs, and vortices develop which
carry non-Abelian flux moduli . For we argue
that the SU(n) fluctuations become strongly coupled and Abelianize, while
leaving weakly fluctuating flux moduli. This allows us to recognize the
semi-classical origin of the light non-Abelian monopoles found earlier in the
fully quantum-mechanical treatment of 4D SQCD
Analytic continuation in two-color QCD: new results on the critical line
No full textWe test the method of analytic continuation from imaginary to real chemical
potential in two-color QCD, which is free from the sign problem. In particular,
we consider the analytic continuation of the critical line to real values of
the chemical potential
Non-Abelian vortices and monopoles in SO(N) theories
No full textNon-Abelian BPS vortex solutions are constructed in N=2 theories with gauge
groups SO(N)\times U(1). The model has N_f flavors of chiral multiplets in the
vector representation of SO(N), and we consider a color-flavor locked vacuum in
which the gauge symmetry is completely broken, leaving a global SO(N)_{C+F}
diagonal symmetry unbroken. Individual vortices break this symmetry, acquiring
continuous non-Abelian orientational moduli. By embedding this model in
high-energy theories with a hierarchical symmetry breaking pattern such as
SO(N+2) --> SO(N)\times U(1) --> 1, the correspondence between non-Abelian
monopoles and vortices can be established through homotopy maps and flux
matching, generalizing the known results in SU(N) theories. We find some
interesting hints about the dual (non-Abelian) transformation properties among
the monopoles
On the phase diagram of the Higgs SU(2) model
No full textSUMMARY The Higgs SU(2) model with fixed Higgs length is usually believed to have two
different phases at high gauge coupling (\beta), separated by a line of first
order transitions but not distinuguished by any typical symmetry associated
with a local order parameter, as first proved by Fradkin and Shenker. We show
that in regions of the parameter space where it is usually supposed to be a
first order phase transition only a smooth crossover is in fact present

Psichiatria, architettura e sacro nella Vienna d'inizio secolo: alcune note su St. Leopold am Steinhof nel suo centenario
Get PDFRIASSUNTO: Il presente articolo sulla chiesa di St. Leopold am Steinhof intende correlare, attraverso la collaborazione di studiosi di diversa estrazione, i vicini ambiti delle scienze mediche e umane per una riflessione su psichiatria, architettura e sacro nella Vienna d’inizio secolo. Questo breve saggio è debitore di vari contributi critici riguardanti il clima culturale viennese dell’epoca, ma intende più specificatamente caratterizzarsi per il focus sulla considerazione della dimensione spirituale nella psichiatria dei primi del Novecento e quindi proprio sull’edificio sacro wagneriano, andando a integrare la scarsa bibliografia in lingua italiana dedicata specificatamente alla suddetta chiesa, della quale nel 2007 ricorreva il centenario del completamento della costruzione. SUMMARY: This interdisciplinary paper about St. Leopold am Steinhof gives the opportunity of a debate regarding architecture, religion and psychiatry in fin-de-siècle Vienna. The essay starts from other critical publications about art, science and culture in Vienna, but has the new aim to focus on a particular matter: the attention devoted from psychiatry to the spiritual dimension of the man at the beginning of the XXth century. The church designed by Otto Wagner and built in 1907 is the main example of a place of worship in a new psychiatric complex
