Plane vortex pairs, colorful structures and low-lying Dirac modes

Abstract

We investigate the influence of topological charges on non-stable zero and near-zero modes of the single uni-color plane vortex pairs. We combine the uni-color plane vortices with the spherical vortex and also construct the plane vortex pairs with two colorful vortices. The stability of zero and near-zero modes is analyzed where various boundary conditions for the fermions are checked. In addition, plane vortex pairs may show the role of the topological charges for changing the chirality of fermions. The results clearly indicate characteristic properties for spontaneous chiral symmetry breaking.
