Description

We consider distinct cases of solitons with orientational moduli coming from a particularly simple initial model inspired by Witten’s cosmic strings. We show that from these models one can construct solitonic solutions with interesting consequences. Finally, we extend the construction towards strong coupling using holographic techniques.
