The effective action of a BPS Alice string

The effective action of a BPS Alice string

Abstract Recently a BPS Alice string has been found in a $$U(1)\times SO(3)$$ U ( 1 ) × S O ( 3 ) gauge theory coupled with three charged complex scalar fields in the triplet representation (in JHEP 1709:046 arXiv:1703.08971 [hep-th], 2017). It is a half BPS state preserving a half of the supercharg...
