Non-abelian vortices in supersymmetric gauge field theory via direct methods (Q443955)

Vortices are often associated with dramatic circumstances. The experimental achievement with regard to vortices in Bose-Einstein condensates and the award of the Nobel Prize in Physics in 2001 have sparked international interest in condensed matter physics, quantum-chromodynamics, supersymmetric gauge field theory, etc. Vortices in supersymmetric gauge field theory are important constructs. The study of non-abelian vortices in supersymmetric gauge field theory is a very meaningful work. In this paper, the authors present a series of sharp existence and uniqueness theorems for the solutions of some non-abelian vortex equations governing color-charged multiply distributed flux tubes. The authors give a series proof of sharp existence and uniqueness theorems, such as proof of existence for doubly periodic case, proof of existence for planar case, etc. The authors also obtain existence results over a doubly periodic domain under explicitly stated necessary and sufficient conditions that relate the size of the domain, the vortex numbers, and the underlying physical coupling parameters of the models.
