Symmetry Origin of Nonlinear Monopole

High Energy Physics - Theory 2009-10-31 v1

Abstract

We revisit the non-linear BPS equation: the Dirac monopole of the Born-Infeld theory in the B-field background. The rotation used in our previous papers to discuss the scalar field by transforming the BPS equation into a linear one is extended to the case of gauge field. We also find that this transformation is a symmetry of the action. Moreover using the Legendre-dual formalism we present a simple expression of the BPS equation.
