Summary
We reduce four-dimensionalSU 3 gauge theory to two-dimensionalU 2 orU 1 ×U 1 Yang-Mills-Higgs theory and study the topology of the four-dimensional and two-dimensional theories. The configurations which correspond to nontrivial topology,i.e. vortices and saddle points, are discussed.
Riassunto
Si riduce la teoria di gauge quadridimensionaleSU 3 e la teoria bidimensionale di Yang-Mills-HiggsU 2 oU 1 ×U 1 e si studia la topologia delle teorie quadridimensionali o bidimensionali. Si discutono le configurazioni che corrispondono alla topologia non banale, cioè vortici e punti di sella.
Резюме
Мы преобразуем четырехмернуюSU 3 калибровочную теорию к двухмернойU 2 илиU 1 ×U 1 теории Янга-Миллса-Хитгса. Исследуется топология четырехмерной и двумерной теорий. Обсуждаются конфигурации, которые соответствуют нетривиальной топологии, т.е. вихри и седловые точки.
