We provide a method for fast and exact simulation of Gaussian random fields on spheres having isotropic covariance functions. The method proposed is then extended to Gaussian random fields defined over spheres cross time and having covariance functions that depend on geodesic distance in space and on temporal separation. The crux of the method is in the use of block circulant matrices obtained working on regular grids defined over longitude $times$ latitude.
We study confining strings in ${cal{N}}=1$ supersymmetric $SU(N_c)$ Yang-Mills theory in the semiclassical regime on $mathbb{R}^{1,2} times mathbb{S}^1$. Static quarks are expected to be confined by double strings composed of two domain walls - which are lines in $mathbb{R}^2$ - rather than by a single flux tube. Each domain wall carries part of the quarks chromoelectric flux. We numerically study this mechanism and find that double-string confinement holds for strings of all $N$-alities, except for those between fundamental quarks. We show that, for $N_c ge 5$, the two domain walls confining unit $N$-ality quarks attract and form non-BPS bound states, collapsing to a single flux line. We determine the $N$-ality dependence of the string tensions for $2 le N_c le 10$. Compared to known scaling laws, we find a weaker, almost flat $N$-ality dependence, which is qualitatively explained by the properties of BPS domain walls. We also quantitatively study the behavior of confining strings upon increasing the $mathbb{S}^1$ size by including the effect of virtual $W$-bosons and show that the qualitative features of double-string confinement persist.
Perturbations of giant magnons and single spikes in a $2+1$ dimensional $mathbb R times S^2$ background spacetime are analysed. Using the form of the giant magnon solution in the Jevicki-Jin gauge,the well-known Jacobi equation for small normal deformations of an embedded time-like surface are written down. Surprisingly, this equation reduces to a simple wave equation in a Minkowski background. The finiteness of perturbations and the ensuing stability of such giant magnons under small deformations are then discussed. It turns out that only the zero mode has finite deformations and is stable. Thereafter, we move on to explore the single spike solution in the Jevicki-Jin gauge. We obtain and solve the perturbation equation numerically and address stability issues.
We analyse several physical aspects of the dressed elliptic strings propagating on $mathbb{R} times mathrm{S}^2$ and of their counterparts in the Pohlmeyer reduced theory, i.e. the sine-Gordon equation. The solutions are divided into two wide classes; kinks which propagate on top of elliptic backgrounds and those which are non-localised periodic disturbances of the latter. The former class of solutions obey a specific equation of state that is in principle experimentally verifiable in systems which realize the sine-Gordon equation. Among both of these classes, there appears to be a particular class of interest the closed dressed strings. They in turn form four distinct subclasses of solutions. Unlike the closed elliptic strings, these four subclasses, exhibit interactions among their spikes. These interactions preserve a carefully defined turning number, which can be associated to the topological charge of the sine-Gordon counterpart. One particular class of those closed dressed strings realizes instabilities of the seed elliptic solutions. The existence of such solutions depends on whether a superluminal kink with a specific velocity can propagate on the corresponding elliptic sine-Gordon solution. Finally, the dispersion relations of the dressed strings are studied. A qualitative difference between the two wide classes of dressed strings is discovered. This would be an interesting subject for investigation in the dual field theory.
The Riemannian product of two hyperbolic planes of constant Gaussian curvature -1 has a natural Kahler structure. In fact, it can be identified with the complex hyperbolic quadric of complex dimension two. In this paper we study Lagrangian surfaces in this manifold. We present several examples and classify the totally umbilical and totally geodesic Lagrangian surfaces, the Lagrangian surfaces with parallel second fundamental form, the minimal Lagrangian surfaces with constant Gaussian curvature and the complete minimal Lagrangian surfaces satisfying a bounding condition on an important function that can be defined on any Lagrangian surface in this particular ambient space.
It is known that for $Omega subset mathbb{R}^{2}$ an unbounded convex domain and $H>0$, there exists a graph $Gsubset mathbb{R}^{3}$ of constant mean curvature $H$ over $Omega $ with $partial G=$ $partial Omega $ if and only if $Omega $ is included in a strip of width $1/H$. In this paper we obtain results in $mathbb{H}^{2}times mathbb{R}$ in the same direction: given $Hin left( 0,1/2right) $, if $Omega $ is included in a region of $mathbb{ H}^{2}times left{ 0right} $ bounded by two equidistant hypercycles $ell(H)$ apart, we show that, if the geodesic curvature of $partial Omega $ is bounded from below by $-1,$ then there is an $H$-graph $G$ over $Omega $ with $partial G=partial Omega$. We also present more refined existence results involving the curvature of $partialOmega,$ which can also be less than $-1.$
