AbstractThe stationary state of resonant absorption of linear, MHD waves in cylindrical magnetic flux tubes is studied in viscous, compressible MHD with a numerical code using finite element discretization. The full viscosity tensor with the five viscosity coefficients as given by Braginskii is included in the analysis. Our computations reproduce the absorption rates obtained by Lou in scalar viscous MHD and Goossens and Poedts in resistive MHD, which guarantee the numerical accuracy of the tensorial viscous MHD code.

The successful observation of superconducting flux lines (fluxons) in thin specimens both in conventional and high Tc superconductors by means of Lorentz and electron holography methods has presented several problems concerning the interpretation of the experimental results. The first approach has been to model the fluxon as a bundle of flux tubes perpendicular to the specimen surface (for which the electron optical phase shift has been found in analytical form) with a magnetic flux distribution given by the London model, which corresponds to a flux line having an infinitely small normal core. In addition to being described by an analytical expression, this model has the advantage that a single parameter, the London penetration depth, completely characterizes the superconducting fluxon. The obtained results have shown that the most relevant features of the experimental data are well interpreted by this model. However, Clem has proposed another more realistic model for the fluxon core that removes the unphysical limitation of the infinitely small normal core and has the advantage of being described by an analytical expression depending on two parameters (the coherence length and the London depth).

Gravity has been leaking in higher dimensions in the bulk. Gravity being a closed string is not attached or does not have any endpoints unlike photons to any Dirichlet (p)-Branes and therefore can travel inter-dimensional without any hindrance. In LHC, CERN, Gravitons are difficult to detect as they last for such a short span of time and in most of the cases invisible as because they can escape to higher spatial dimensions to the maximum of 10, as per 'M'-Theory. Gravity being one of the 4-Fundamental forces is weaker than all 3 (strong and weak nuclear force, electromagnetism) and therefore a famous problem has been made in particle physics called the 'hierarchy problem'. Through comprehensive analysis and research I have come to the conclusion that if dimension is 5 (or 4 if we neglect the temporal dimensions) then an old approach is there for the compactification of the dimensions as per Kaluza-Klein theory and the most important implications of this theory is that an unification of electromagnetism with gravitation occurs in the fifth dimensions, therefore we can conclude that both the charge (electric as well as magnetic and gravity) are dependent of each other in case of Dimensions greater than 4 (5 if time is added). Now, basic principles of electromagnetic theory states that the field-flux density through a closed surface like a T 2 Torus when integrated over the surface area leads to a zero flux. That means there is no flux outside this closed surface integral. However, if the surface is open then the field flux density is not zero and this preserves the concept of magnetic monopoles. However, in a paper in 1931,[1] Dirac approaches monopole theory of magnetism through a different perspectives that, if all the electrical charges of the universe is quantized[2] then there is a suitable (not yet proved though) existence of monopoles; however this are not well understood as of today's scenario. In condensed matter physics, plasma physics and magneto hydrodynamics, there are flux tubes and as the both ends of the flux tubes are independent of each other then the net flux through the cylinder is zero as the amount of field lines entering the tube on one side is equal to the amount of field lines exit from the other end. And in the sides of the cylinder or the flux tube there is no escape of field lines, hence, net flux is conserved. There also exists a type of 'Quasiparticles' that can act as a monopole.[3][4][5] Now, from the perspectives of the Guess law of electromagnetism, if there exists a magnetic monopole then the net charge or flux density over a surface is not zero rather the divergence of the flux density B is 4 [6]and an alternative approach of the 'monopole' can be achieved by increasing the spatial dimensions by a factor of 1 or more. The Gravity has no such poles and therefore can be considered as a unipolar flux density existing throughout the universe and is applicable to the inverse square law of decreasing magnitude via distance as 1/r 2. However, a magnet is always of bipolar with a north and South Pole. If a magnet can be broken then also the broken parts develop the other poles and become bipolar. However, there are tiny domains inside a magnet and if a magnet can be heated to approx. 700℃ then all the poles disappeared and if its cooled quickly, rather very quickly then the tiny domains inside the magnet would not get enough time to rearrange themselves and multipolar magnet is developed therefore to preserve the bipolar properties, the magnet should be cooled slowly allowing the time given to the tiny domains top rearrange themselves. Therefore, even multipole can be achieved quite easily but not the monopoles. So, the equation for a closed surface integral of a flux density without monopole is ∯(S) B dS = 0 or ∇ • B = 0 and that closed surface can be considered as 2 types namely (we will discuss about torus) as because in string theory compactification of higher spatial dimensions occurs in torus.

The Continuum

In this review, we discuss the present status of the description of confining flux tubes in SU(N) pure Yang–Mills theory in terms of ensembles of percolating center vortices. This is based on three main pillars: modeling in the continuum the ensemble components detected in the lattice, the derivation of effective field representations, and contrasting the associated properties with Monte Carlo lattice results. The integration of the present knowledge about these points is essential to get closer to a unified physical picture for confinement. Here, we shall emphasize the last advances, which point to the importance of including the non-oriented center-vortex component and non-Abelian degrees of freedom when modeling the center-vortex ensemble measure. These inputs are responsible for the emergence of topological solitons and the possibility of accommodating the asymptotic scaling properties of the confining string tension.

AbstractMagnetohydrodynamic (MHD) instabilities allow energy to be released from stressed magnetic fields, commonly modelled in cylindrical flux tubes linking parallel planes, but, more recently, also in curved arcades containing flux tubes with both footpoints in the same photospheric plane. Uncurved cylindrical flux tubes containing multiple individual threads have been shown to be capable of sustaining an MHD avalanche, whereby a single unstable thread can destabilise many. We examine the properties of multi-threaded coronal loops, wherein each thread is created by photospheric driving in a realistic, curved coronal arcade structure (with both footpoints of each thread in the same plane). We use three-dimensional MHD simulations to study the evolution of single- and multi-threaded coronal loops, which become unstable and reconnect, while varying the driving velocity of individual threads. Experiments containing a single thread destabilise in a manner indicative of an ideal MHD instability and consistent with previous examples in the literature. The introduction of additional threads modifies this picture, with aspects of the model geometry and relative driving speeds of individual threads affecting the ability of any thread to destabilise others. In both single- and multi-threaded cases, continuous driving of the remnants of disrupted threads produces secondary, aperiodic bursts of energetic release.

AbstractWe study kink oscillations of a straight magnetic tube in the presence of siphon flows. The tube consists of a core and a transitional or boundary layer. The flow velocity is parallel to the tube axis, has constant magnitude, and confined in the tube core. The plasma density is constant in the tube core and it monotonically decreases in the transitional layer to its value in the surrounding plasma. We use the expression for the decrement/increment previously obtained by Ruderman and Petrukhin (Astron. Astrophys.631, A31, 2019) to study the damping and resonant instability of kink oscillations. We show that, depending on the magnitude of siphon-velocity, resonant absorption can cause either the damping of kink oscillations or their enhancement. There are two threshold velocities: When the flow velocity is below the first threshold velocity, kink oscillations damp. When the flow velocity is above the second threshold velocity, the kink oscillation amplitudes grow. Finally, when the flow velocity is between the two threshold velocities, the oscillation amplitudes do not change. We apply the theoretical result to kink oscillations of prominence threads. We show that, for particular values of thread parameters, resonant instability can excite these kink oscillations.
