We prove that different expressions of the same exceptional unimodal singularity are orbifold equivalent. As in our previous paper, the matrix factorizations proving these orbifold equivalences depend again on certain parameters satisfying…
Gauge field configuration for a magnetic monopole and its dual configuration are studied in SU(2) gauge theory. We present a relation between the monopole field and its dual field. Since these fields can become massive, their massive…
We show that in the dual version of the generalized Dick model monopole-anti-monopole pairs have finite energy. It is possible to use the potential between monopole and anti-monopole to find the mass spectrum of the glueballs. The results…
By making use of the decomposition theory of gauge potential, the inner structure of SU(2) and SO(4) gauge theory is discussed in detail. We find the SO(4) monopole can be given via projecting the SO(4) gauge field onto an antisymmetric…

We introduce and study new integrable models of A_n^{(1)}-Non-Abelian Toda type which admit U(1)\otimes U(1) charged topological solitons. They correspond to the symmetry breaking SU(n+1) \to SU(2)\otimes SU(2)\otimes U(1)^{n-2} and are…
It is shown that the SO(3) gauge field configurations can be completely characterised by certain gauge invariant vector fields. The singularities of these vector fields describe the topological aspects of the gauge field configurations. The…
We construct static axially symmetric solutions of SU(2) Einstein-Yang-Mills-Higgs theory in the topologically trivial sector, representing gravitating monopole--antimonopole pairs, linked to the Bartnik-McKinnon solutions.
Dirac showed that the existence of magnetic monopoles would imply quantization of electric charge. I discuss the converse, and propose two `principles of completeness' which I illustrate with various examples.
In the literature concerning the monopole matter, three gauges: Dirac, Schwinger, and Wu-Yang's, have been contrasted to each other, and the Wu-Yang's often appears as the most preferable one. The article aims to analyse this view by…
In this paper we investigate the existence of singular solutions to the conformal Dirac-Einstein system. Because of its conformal invariance, there are many similarities with the classical construction of singular solutions for the Yamabe…
A variation on the abelian Higgs model, with global SU(2) x local U(1) symmetry broken to global U(1) was recently shown by Vachaspati and Achucarro to admit stable, finite energy cosmic string solutions even though the manifold of minima…
We introduce a gauge invariant definition of a monopole on the lattice. The construction is based on the observation that for each Wilson loop there exists an extra U(1) group which leaves the loop invariant. Since the lattice formulation…

The Dirac monopole is discussed in view of the gauge invariance in Quantum Electrodynamics. It is shown the monopole existence implies the violation of the gauge invariance principle. The monopole field is essentially a longitudinal field…
