General composite non-Abelian strings and flag manifold sigma models

We fully investigate the symmetry-breaking patterns occurring upon creation of composite non-Abelian strings: vortex strings in non-Abelian theories where different sets of colors have different amounts of flux. After spontaneous symmetry breaking, there remains some internal color degrees of freedo...
