The topological structure of the vortices in the O(n) symmetric TDGL model

In the light of $\phi$--mapping method and topological current theory, the topological structure of the vortex state in TDGL model and the topological quantization of the vortex topological charges are investigated. It is pointed out that the topological charges of the vortices in TDGL model are described by the Winding numbers of $\phi$--mapping which are determined in terms of the Hopf indices and the Brouwer degrees of $\phi$--mapping.Comment: 9 pages, LaTe

Vector and Spinor Decomposition of SU(2) Gauge Potential, their quivalence and Knot Structure in SU(2) Chern-Simons Theory

In this paper, spinor and vector decomposition of SU(2) gauge potential are presented and their equivalence is constructed using a simply proposal. We also obtain the action of Faddeev nonlinear O(3) sigma model from the SU(2) massive gauge field theory which is proposed according to the gauge invariant principle. At last, the knot structure in SU(2) Chern-Simons filed theory is discussed in terms of the $\phi$--mapping topological current theory. The topological charge of the knot is characterized by the Hopf indices and the Brouwer degrees of $\phi$-mapping.Comment: 10 pages, ni figur

Hyperbolicity of the time-like extremal surfaces in minkowski spaces

In this paper, it is established, in the case of graphs, that time-like extremal surfaces of dimension $1+n$ in the Minkowski space of dimension $1+n+m$ can be described by a symmetric hyperbolic system of PDEs with the very simple structure (reminiscent of the inviscid Burgers equation)$$\partial\_t W + \sum\_{j=1}^n A\_j(W)\partial\_{x\_j} W =0,\;\;\;W:\;(t,x)\in\mathbb{R}^{1+n}\rightarrow W(t,x)\in\mathbb{R}^{n+m+\binom{m+n}{n}},$$where each $A\_j(W)$ is just a $\big(n+m+\binom{m+n}{n}\big)\times\big(n+m+\binom{m+n}{n}\big)$ symmetric matrix dependinglinearly on $W$
