Domain walls in strongly coupled gauge theories are discussed. A general mechanism is suggested automatically leading to massless gauge bosons localized on the wall. In one of the models considered, outside the wall the theory is in the non-Abelian confining phase, while inside the wall it is in the Abelian Coulomb phase. Confining property of the non-Abelian theories is a key ingredient of the mechanism which may be of practical use in the context of the dynamic compactification scenarios. In supersymmetric (N=1) Yang-Mills theories the energy density of the wall can be exactly calculated in the strong coupling regime. This calculation presents a further example of non-trivial physical quantities that can be found exactly by exploiting specific properties of supersymmetry. A key observation is the fact that the wall in this theory is a BPS-saturated state.

  1. Domain Walls From Confining Bubbles: $SU(N_{c})$ Yang Mills at Finite $\theta$

    hep-ph 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A nonzero theta angle weakens supercooling in SU(Nc) Yang-Mills confinement and makes any resulting domain-wall gravitational-wave signal invisible except under severe fine-tuning.

  2. Baryons, Skyrmions and $\theta$-periodicity anomaly in chiral and vector-like gauge theories

    hep-th 2025-10 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    In chiral SU(N) gauge theories with mixed one- and two-index matter, the CFL-phase coset topology yields no Skyrmions yet permits stable heavy baryons protected by unbroken symmetries, unlike vector-like models; theta...

  3. Degenerate Domain Walls in Supersymmetric Theories

    hep-th 2025-01 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    In supersymmetric QCD with any number of flavors, the number of degenerate k-domain walls is exactly N!/((N-k)!k!), split into locally distinguishable and topologically distinct classes.

  4. (Anti-)Stokes Scattering on the Domain Wall String

    hep-th 2024-12 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    Meson scattering off a (2+1)-dimensional domain wall string can excite or de-excite the string's shape mode, and this paper gives the leading-order probability densities for both processes, including forward and backw...
