We consider U(n+1) Yang-Mills instantons on the space Sigmatimes S^2, where Sigma is a compact Riemann surface of genus g. Using an SU(2)-equivariant dimensional reduction, we show that the U(n+1) instanton equations on Sigmatimes S^2 are equivalent to non-Abelian vortex equations on Sigma. Solutions to these equations are given by pairs (A,phi), where A is a gauge potential of the group U(n) and phi is a Higgs field in the fundamental representation of the group U(n). We briefly compare this model with other non-Abelian Higgs models considered recently. Afterwards we show that for g>1, when Sigmatimes S^2 becomes a gravitational instanton, the non-Abelian vortex equations are the compatibility conditions of two linear equations (Lax pair) and therefore the standard methods of integrable systems can be applied for constructing their solutions.

Non-Abelian flux-tube (string) solutions carrying global currents are found in the bosonic sector of 4-dimensional N=2 super-symmetric gauge theories. The specific model considered here posseses U(2)local x SU(2)global symmetry, with two scalar doubl
ets in the fundamental representation of SU(2). We construct string solutions that are stationary and translationally symmetric along the x3 direction, and they are characterized by a matrix phase between the two doublets, referred to as twist. Consequently, twisted strings have nonzero (global) charge, momentum, and in some cases even angular momentum per unit length. The planar cross section of a twisted string corresponds to a rotationally symmetric, charged non-Abelian vortex, satisfying 1st order Bogomolny-type equations and 2nd order Gauss-constraints. Interestingly, depending on the nature of the matrix phase, some of these solutions even break rotational symmetry in R3. Although twisted vortices have higher energy than the untwisted ones, they are expected to be linearly stable since one can maintain their charge (or twist) fixed with respect to small perturbations.
A brane-world $SU(5)$ GUT model with global non-Abelian vortices is constructed in six-dimensional spacetime. We find a solution with a vortex associated to $SU(3)$ separated from another vortex associated to $SU(2)$. This $3-2$ split configuration a
chieves a geometric Higgs mechanism for $SU(5)to SU(3)times SU(2)times U(1)$ symmetry breaking. A simple deformation potential induces a domain wall between non-Abelian vortices, leading to a linear confining potential. The confinement stabilizes the vortex separation moduli, and assures the vorticity of $SU(3)$ group and of $SU(2)$ group to be identical. This dictates the equality of the numbers of fermion zero modes in the fundamental representation of $SU(3)$ (quarks) and of $SU(2)$ (leptons), leading to quark-lepton generations. The standard model massless gauge fields are localized on the non-Abelian vortices thanks to a field-dependent gauge kinetic function. We perform fluctuation analysis with an appropriate gauge fixing and obtain a four-dimensional effective Lagrangian of unbroken and broken gauge fields at quadratic order. We find that $SU(3) times SU(2) times U(1)$ gauge fields are localized on the vortices and exactly massless. Complications in analyzing the spectra of gauge fields with the nontrivial gauge kinetic function are neatly worked out by a vector-analysis like method.
Knizhnik-Zamolodchikov-Bernard equations for twisted conformal blocks on compact Riemann surfaces with marked points are written explicitly in a general projective structure in terms of correlation functions in the theory of twisted b-c systems. It i

We consider compactifications of $6d$ minimal $(D_{N+3},D_{N+3})$ type conformal matter SCFTs on a generic Riemann surface. We derive the theories corresponding to three punctured spheres (trinions) with three maximal punctures, from which one can co
nstruct models corresponding to generic surfaces. The trinion models are simple quiver theories with $mathcal{N}=1$ $SU(2)$ gauge nodes. One of the three puncture non abelian symmetries is emergent in the IR. The derivation of the trinions proceeds by analyzing RG flows between conformal matter SCFTs with different values of $N$ and relations between their subsequent reductions to $4d$. In particular, using the flows we first derive trinions with two maximal and one minimal punctures, and then we argue that collections of $N$ minimal punctures can be interpreted as a maximal one. This suggestion is checked by matching the properties of the $4d$ models such as `t Hooft anomalies, symmetries, and the structure of the conformal manifold to the expectations from $6d$. We then use the understanding that collections of minimal punctures might be equivalent to maximal ones to construct trinions with three maximal punctures, and then $4d$ theories corresponding to arbitrary surfaces, for $6d$ models described by two $M5$ branes probing a $mathbb{Z}_k$ singularity. This entails the introduction of a novel type of maximal puncture. Again, the suggestion is checked by matching anomalies, symmetries and the conformal manifold to expectations from six dimensions. These constructions thus give us a detailed understanding of compactifications of two sequences of six dimensional SCFTs to four dimensions.
The magnetic order of the triangular lattice with antiferromagnetic interactions is described by an SO(3) field and allows for the presence of Z2 magnetic vortices as defects. In this work we show how these Z2 vortices can be fitted into a local SU(2
) gauge theory. We propose simple Ansu007fatzes for vortex configurations and calculate their energies using well-known results of the Abelian gauge model. We comment on how Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interactions could be derived from a non-Abelian gauge theory and speculate on their effect on non trivial configurations.
