Magnetic zero-modes, vortices and Cartan geometry
We exhibit a close relation between vortex configurations on the 2-sphere and magnetic zero-modes of the Dirac operator on [Formula: see text] which obey an additional nonlinear equation. We show that both are best understood in terms of the geometry induced on the 3-sphere via pull-back of the roun...

description | We exhibit a close relation between vortex configurations on the 2-sphere and magnetic zero-modes of the Dirac operator on [Formula: see text] which obey an additional nonlinear equation. We show that both are best understood in terms of the geometry induced on the 3-sphere via pull-back of the round geometry with bundle maps of the Hopf fibration. We use this viewpoint to deduce a manifestly smooth formula for square-integrable magnetic zero-modes in terms of two homogeneous polynomials in two complex variables. |
