We investigate dielectric branes in false vacua in Type IIB string theory. The dielectric branes are supported against collapsing by lower energy vacua inside spherical or tube-like branes. We claim that such branes can be seeds for semi-classical (or quantum mechanical) decay of the false vacua, which makes the life-time of the false vacua shorter. Also, we discuss a topology change of a bubble corresponding to the fuzzy monopole triggered by dissolving fundamental strings.

063B03 (2017), a properly normalized supercurrent in the four-dimensional (4D) N = 1 super Yang-Mills theory (SYM) that works within on-mass-shell correlation functions of gauge-invariant operators is expressed in a regularization-independent manner by employing the gradient flow. In the present paper, this construction is extended to the supercurrent in the 4D N = 2 SYM. The so-constructed supercurrent will be useful, for instance, for fine tuning of lattice parameters toward the supersymmetric continuum limit in future lattice simulations of the 4D N = 2 SYM.

The gradient flow [1][2][3][4][5] gives rise to a versatile method to construct renormalized composite operators in a regularization-independent manner. By adopting this method, the authors of Refs. [6-9] obtained the expression of Noether currents on the lattice in the cases where the associated symmetries are broken by lattice regularization. We apply the same method to the Noether current associated with supersymmetry, i.e., the supercurrent. We consider the 4D N = 1 super Yang-Mills theory and calculate the renormalized supercurrent in the one-loop level in the Wess-Zumino gauge. We then re-express this supercurrent in terms of the flowed gauge and flowed gaugino fields [10].
