Diamagnetic vortices in Chern-Simons theory

Mikhail Chapochnikov, Yannis Burnier, Eray Sabancilar

We find a new type of topological vortex solution in the U(1)(Z) xU(1)(A) Chern-Simons gauge theory in the presence of a U(1)(A) magnetic field background. In this theory U(1)(Z) is broken spontaneously by the U(1)(A) magnetic field. These vortices exhibit ...

Confined vortices in topologically massive U(1) x U(1) theory

Mikhail Chapochnikov, Yannis Burnier, Eray Sabancilar

We report on a new topological vortex solution in U(1) x U(1) Maxwell-Chern-Simons theory. The existence of the vortex is envisaged by analytical means, and a numerical solution is obtained by integrating the equations of motion. These vortices have a long ...

Static Quark-Antiquark Potential in the Quark-Gluon Plasma from Lattice QCD

Yannis Burnier

We present a state-of-the-art determination of the complex valued static quark-antiquark potential at phenomenologically relevant temperatures around the deconfinement phase transition. Its values are obtained from nonperturbative lattice QCD simulations u ...

Lattice calculation of the heavy quark potential at non-zero temperature

Yannis Burnier

We calculated the real and imaginary parts of the static quark-antiquark potential at T > 0 in 2 + 1 flavor QCD using correlators of Wilson lines in Coulomb gauge and lattices with temporal extent N-tau = 12. We find that the real part of the potential is ...

Models that include supercoiling of topological domains reproduce several known features of interphase chromosomes

Yannis Burnier, Julien Dorier, Fabrizio Benedetti, Andrzej Stasiak

Understanding the structure of interphase chromosomes is essential to elucidate regulatory mechanisms of gene expression. During recent years, high-throughput DNA sequencing expanded the power of chromosome conformation capture (3C) methods that provide in ...

Charm mass effects in bulk channel correlations

Yannis Burnier

The bulk viscosity of thermalized QCD matter at temperatures above a few hundred MeV could be significantly influenced by charm quarks because their contribution arises four perturbative orders before purely gluonic effects. In an attempt to clarify the ch ...

Non-perturbative processes with Fermion number non-conservation in different models of particle physics

Yannis Burnier

When a classical conservation law is broken by quantum corrections, the associated symmetry is said to be anomalous. This type of symmetry breaking can lead to interesting physics. For instance in strong interactions, the anomaly in the chiral current is i ...

Can an odd number of fermions be created due to chiral anomaly?

Mikhail Chapochnikov, Yannis Burnier

We describe a possible creation of an odd number of fractionally charged fermions in the 1+1 dimensional Abelian Higgs model. We point out that for 1+1 dimensions this process does not violate any symmetries of the theory, nor makes it mathematically incon ...

One-loop fermionic corrections to the instanton transition in two dimensional chiral Higgs model

Mikhail Chapochnikov, Yannis Burnier

The one-loop fermionic contribution to the probability of an instanton transition with fermion number violation is calculated in the chiral Abelian Higgs model in 1+1 dimensions, where the fermions have a Yukawa coupling to the scalar field. The dependence ...
