abstract

We detail the construction of electric string solutions in $SU(2)$ Yang-Mills-Higgs theory with a scalar in the fundamental representation and discuss the properties of the solution. We show that Schwinger gluon pair production in the electric string background is absent. A similar construction in other models, such as with an adjoint scalar field and the electroweak model, does not yield solutions.

Constructs a stable 3-type electric flux tube in SU(3) with two fundamental scalars that is immune to Schwinger decay but does not find the corresponding 8-type solution.
