Aspects of the monopole condensation picture of confinement are discussed. First, the nature of the monopole singularities in the abelian projection approach is analysed. Their apparent gauge dependence is shown to have a natural…
This paper describes an alternative method of generating fixed points of certain substitution systems. This method centres on taking infinite words consisting of one repeated letter per word. These infinite words are then interlaced to form…
We consider singly periodic solutions to the SU(2) Bogomolny equations and use the Nahm transform to generate a class of monopoles of charge k>2, thereby extending known results for lower charge chains. Some simple scattering processes are…
The magnetic monopole in euclidean pure SU(2) gauge theory is investigated using a background field method on the lattice. With Monte Carlo methods we study the mass of the monopole in the full quantum theory. The monopole background under…
We construct a family of finitely generated infinite periodic groups. The basic example is a 2-group, called the tetrahedron group. We generalize the construction by suggesting a family of infinite finitely generated dice groups. We provide…
We construct monopole solutions in SU(2) Einstein-Yang-Mills-Higgs theory, carrying magnetic charge n. For vanishing and small Higgs selfcoupling, these multimonopole solutions are gravitationally bound. Their mass per unit charge is lower…
An explicit canonical construction of monopole connections on non trivial U(1) bundles over Riemann surfaces of any genus is given. The class of monopole solutions depend on the conformal class of the given Riemann surface and a set of…
In this work we investigate the presence of magnetic monopoles that engender multimagnetic structures, which arise from an appropriate extension of the $\rm{SU(2)}$ gauge group. The investigation is based on a modified relativistic theory…
We use the reflection group trick to glue manifolds with corners that are Borel-Serre compactifications of locally symmetric spaces of noncompact type and obtain aspherical manifolds. We call these \emph{piecewise locally symmetric}…
We perform detailed measurements of the geometrical characteristics of the percolating cluster of the magnetic monopole currents in the confining phase of the lattice SU(2) gluodynamics. The Maximal Abelian projection is used to define the…
We give elementary constructions of manifold with corner structures and associative gluing maps on compactifications of spaces of infinite, half infinite, and finite Morse flow lines.
We investigate the monopole-instanton correlation in SU(2) lattice gauge theory using a renormalisation group inspired smoothing technique. We look at the properties of monopole clusters and their correlation with instantons. Since the…
We construct, in an SU(2) gauge theory with two adjoint scalars, flux strings with monopoles attached at the ends. One scalar breaks SU(2) to U(1) and produces monopoles, the other then breaks the U(1) and produces strings. Dualizing, we…
In this talk, I discuss the formation of magnetic monopoles in a phase transition from the confining SU(2) phase to the Coulomb phase in a hot Georgi-Glashow model. I argue that monopoles are formed from long-wavelength thermal…
A periodic parallelogram polyomino is a parallelogram polyomino such that we glue the first and the last column. In this work we extend a bijection between ordered trees and parallelogram polyominoes in order to compute the generating…
We discuss the recent construction of new exact finite temperature instanton solutions with a non-trivial value of the Polyakov loop at infinity. They can be shown, in a precise and gauge invariant way, to be formed by the superposition of…
We construct multimonopole solutions containing N-1 distinct fundamental monopoles in SU(N) gauge theory. When the gauge symmetry is spontaneously broken to U(1)^{N-1}, the monopoles are all massive, and we show that the fields can be…
The first examples of exceptional terminal singularities are constructed.
We construct minimal surfaces by stacking doubly periodic Scherk surfaces one above another and gluing them along their ends. It is previously known that the Karcher--Meeks--Rosenberg (KMR) doubly periodic minimal surfaces and Meeks' family…
We use group theoretic methods to obtain the extended Lie point symmetries of the equations of motion for a charged particle in the field of a monopole. Cases with certain model magnetic fields and potentials are also studied. Our analysis…
