Field theoretic description of the abelian and non-abelian josephson effect
Description
We formulate the Josephson effect in a field theoretic language which affordsa straightforward generalization to the non-abelian case. Our formalisminterprets Josephson tunneling as the excitation of pseudo-Goldstone bosons. We discuss applicationsto various non-abelian symmetry breaking systems in particle and condensedmatter physics.
