Abstract 4d$$ \mathcal{N} $$ N = 1 super Yang-Mills (SYM) with simply connected gauge group G has h gapped vacua arising from the spontaneously broken discrete R-symmetry, where h is the dual Coxeter number of G. Therefore, the theory admits stable domain walls interpolating between any two vacua, but it is a nonperturbative problem to determine the low energy theory on the domain wall. We put forward an explicit answer to this question for all the domain walls for G = SU(N), Sp(N), Spin(N) and G2, and for the minimal domain wall connecting neighboring vacua for arbitrary G. We propose that the domain wall theories support specific nontrivial topological quantum field theories (TQFTs), which include the Chern-Simons theory proposed long ago by Acharya-Vafa for SU(N). We provide nontrivial evidence for our proposals by exactly matching renormalization group invariant partition functions twisted by global symmetries of SYM computed in the ultraviolet with those computed in our proposed infrared TQFTs. A crucial element in this matching is constructing the Hilbert space of spin TQFTs, that is, theories that depend on the spin structure of spacetime and admit fermionic states — a subject we delve into in some detail.

Abstract We study exact soliton solutions of anti-self-dual Yang-Mills equations for G = GL(2) in four-dimensional spaces with the Euclidean, Minkowski and Ultrahyperbolic signatures and construct special kinds of one-soliton solutions whose action density TrFμνFμν can be real-valued. These solitons are shown to be new type of domain walls in four dimension by explicit calculation of the real-valued action density. Our results are successful applications of the Darboux transformation developed by Nimmo, Gilson and Ohta. More surprisingly, integration of these action densities over the four-dimensional spaces are suggested to be not infinity but zero. Furthermore, whether gauge group G = U(2) can be realized on our solition solutions or not is also discussed on each real space.

We present a picture of confinement based on representation of constituent quarks as pointlike topological defects. The topological charge carried by quarks and confined in hadrons is explicitly constructed in terms of Yang-Mills variables. In 2+1 dimensions we are able to construct a local complex scalar field V(x), in terms of which the topological charge is [Formula: see text]. The VEV of the field V in the confining phase is nonzero and the charge is the winding number corresponding to homotopy group π1(S1). Quarks carry the charge Q and therefore are topological solitons. The phase rotation of V is generated by the operator of magnetic flux. Unlike in QED, the U(1) magnetic flux is explicitly broken by the monopoles. This results in formation of a string between a quark and an antiquark. The effective Lagrangian for V is derived in models with adjoint and fundamental quarks. This topological mechanism of confinement is basically different from the one proposed by ’t Hooft in which the elementary objects are linelike domain walls. A baryon is described as a Y-shaped configuration of strings. In 3+1 dimensions the explicit expression for V, and therefore a detailed picture, is not available. However, assuming the validity of the same mechanism we point out several interesting qualitative consequences.

Abstract Exact field theory dualities can be implemented by duality domain walls such that passing any operator through the interface maps it to the dual operator. This paper describes the S-duality wall of four-dimensional $$ \mathcal{N} $$ N = 2 SU(N) SQCD with 2N hypermultiplets in terms of fields on the defect, namely three-dimensional $$ \mathcal{N} $$ N = 2 SQCD with gauge group U(N − 1) and 2N flavours, with a monopole superpotential. The theory is self-dual under a duality found by Benini, Benvenuti and Pasquetti, in the same way that T[SU(N)] (the S-duality wall of $$ \mathcal{N} $$ N = 4 super Yang-Mills) is self-mirror. The domain-wall theory can also be realized as a limit of a USp(2N − 2) gauge theory; it reduces to known results for N = 2. The theory is found through the AGT correspondence by determining the braiding kernel of two semi-degenerate vertex operators in Toda CFT.
