A New Perspective on Electroweak Strings
arXiv:hep-ph/9402207 · doi:10.1016/0550-3213(94)00116-2
Abstract
The vortex solution (Z-string) of the electroweak interactions can be interpreted as the 2-dimensional sphaleron at the top of a non-contractible sphere. The same holds for another type of solution, the W-string.
