title = "More on the Abrikosov strings with non-Abelian moduli",
abstract = "We continue explorations of deformed Abrikosov-Nielsen-Olesen (ANO) strings, with non-Abelian moduli on the worldsheet. In a simple model with an extra field, we find classically stable ANO and non-Abelian strings. The tension of the latter is a few percent lower than the tension of the ANO string. Then, we calculate the interpolating field configuration. Once the kink mass M k and the difference of tensions ΔT are found, we calculate the decay rate of the ANO string with a higher tension ({"}false vacuum{"}) into the non-Abelian string with the lower tension ({"}genuine vacuum{"}) through the {"}bubble{"} formation in the quasiclassical approximation.",
