The enhançon and the consistency of excision. (2001)
Journal Article
Johnson, C. V., Myers, R. C., Peet, A. W., & Ross, S. F. (2001). The enhançon and the consistency of excision. Physical Review D, 64(10), Article 106001. https://doi.org/10.1103/physrevd.64.106001

The enhançon mechanism removes a family of timelike singularities from certain supergravity spacetimes by forming a shell of branes on which the exterior geometry terminates. The problematic interior geometry is replaced by a new spacetime, which in... Read More about The enhançon and the consistency of excision..

Soft susy breaking, dilaton domination and intermediate scale string models (2000)
Journal Article
Abel, S., Allanach, B., Quevedo, F., Ibáñez, L., & Klein, M. (2000). Soft susy breaking, dilaton domination and intermediate scale string models. Journal of High Energy Physics, 2000(12), https://doi.org/10.1088/1126-6708/2000/12/026

We present an analysis of the low-energy implications of an intermediate scale ~10^{11} GeV string theory. We mainly focus on the evolution of the physical parameters under the renormalisation group equations (RGEs) and find several interesting new f...

The interaction of two hopf solitons. (2000)
Journal Article
Ward, R. (2000). The interaction of two hopf solitons. Physics Letters B, 473(3-4), 291-296. https://doi.org/10.1016/s0370-2693%2899%2901503-8

This Letter deals with topological solitons in an O(3) sigma model in three space dimensions (with a Skyrme term to stabilize their size). The solitons are classified topologically by their Hopf number N. The N=2 sector is studied; in particular, for... Read More about The interaction of two hopf solitons..

Reconstructing the vacuum functional of Yang-Mills from its large distance behaviour (1996)
Journal Article
Mansfield, P. (1996). Reconstructing the vacuum functional of Yang-Mills from its large distance behaviour. Physics Letters B, 365(1-4), 207-212. https://doi.org/10.1016/0370-2693%2895%2901332-6

For fields that vary slowly on the scale of the lightest mass the logarithm of the vacuum functional can be expanded as a sum of local functionals. For Yang-Mills theory the leading term in the expansion dominates large distance effects and leads to...

Skyrme-Maxwell Solitons in 2+1 Dimensions (1996)
Journal Article

N=1 M5-brane geometries (2001)
Journal Article
Brinne, B., Fayyazuddin, A., Husain, T., & Smith, D. J. (2001). N=1 M5-brane geometries. Journal of High Energy Physics, 2001(03), https://doi.org/10.1088/1126-6708/2001/03/052

We describe how to construct solutions to eleven-dimensional supergravity corresponding to M5-branes wrapped on holomorphic 2-cycles embedded in 3. These solutions preserve = 1 supersymmetry in four dimensions. In the near-horizon limit they are expe... Read More about N=1 M5-brane geometries.

Classical backgrounds and scattering for affine Toda theory on a half-line. (1998)
Journal Article
Bowcock, P. (1998). Classical backgrounds and scattering for affine Toda theory on a half-line. Journal of High Energy Physics, 1998(5), Article 008. https://doi.org/10.1088/1126-6708/1998/05/008

We find classical solutions to the simply-laced affine Toda equations which satisfy integrable boundary conditions using solitons which are analytically continued from imaginary coupling theories. Both static `vacuum' configurations and time-dependen... Read More about Classical backgrounds and scattering for affine Toda theory on a half-line..

Quantum corrections to the classical reflection factor in a2(1) Toda field theory. (1999)
Journal Article
Bowcock, P., & Perkins, M. (1999). Quantum corrections to the classical reflection factor in a2(1) Toda field theory. Nuclear Physics B, 538(3), 612-630. https://doi.org/10.1016/s0550-3213%2898%2900707-x

The O(β2) quantum correction to the classical reflection factor is calculated for one of the integrable boundary conditions of a2(1) affine Toda field theory. This is found to agree with the conjectured exact reflection factor of the quantum theory.... Read More about Quantum corrections to the classical reflection factor in a2(1) Toda field theory..
