A method is proposed for generalizing the Euclidean Taub-NUT space, regarded as the appropriate background of the Dirac magnetic monopole, to non-Abelian Kaluza-Klein theories involving potentials of generalized monopoles. Usual geometrical…
We study static spherically symmetric dyonic black holes in Einstein-Yang-Mills-Higgs theory. As for the magnetic non-abelian black holes, the domain of existence of the dyonic non-abelian black holes is limited with respect to the horizon…
We present an extension to the Poisson-Boltzmann model where the dipolar features of solvent molecules are taken explicitly into account. The formulation is derived at mean-field level and can be extended to any order in a systematic…
We prove a conjecture of Morel identifying Voevodsky's homotopy invariant sheaves with transfers with spectra in the stable homotopy category which are concentrated in degree zero for the homotopy t-structure and have a trivial action of…
Non-Abelian strings exist in the color-flavor locked phase of dense QCD. We show that kinks appearing in the world-sheet theory on these strings, in the form of the kink-antikink bound pairs, are the magnetic monopoles --- descendants of…
We show how to map the Belavin-Polyakov instantons of the O(3)-nonlinear $\sigma-$model to a dual theory where they then appear as nontopological solitons. They are stationary points of the Euclidean action in the dual theory, and moreover,…
We would like to present some exact SU(2) Yang-Mills-Higgs monopole solutions of half-integer topological charge. These solutions can be just an isolated half-monopole or a multimonopole with topological magnetic charge, ${1/2}m$, where $m$…
This talk discusses two topological features in non-abelian gauge theories, related by the notion of abelian projection and the Hopf invariant. Minimising the energy of the non-linear sigma model with a Skyrme-like term (the Faddeev-Niemi…
We prove the existence of dark monopole solutions in a recently formulated Yang--Mills--Higgs theory model with technical features similar to the classical monopole problems. The solutions are obtained as energy-minimizing static…
The dyonic quantum states of magnetic monopoles in Yang-Mills-Higgs theory with a non-abelian unbroken gauge group display a subtle interplay between magnetic and electric properties. This is described in detail in the theory with the gauge…
A static configuration of point charges held together by the gravitational attraction is known to be given by the Majumdar-Papapetrou solution in the Einstein-Maxwell theory. We consider a generalization of this solution to non-Abelian…
We study the symmetries of the soliton spectrum of a pair of T-dual integrable models, invariant under global $SL(2)_q\otimes U(1)$ transformations. They represent an integrable perturbation of the reduced Gepner parafermions, based on…
For some non-linear field theories which allow for soliton solutions, submodels with infinitely many conservation laws can be defined. Here we investigate the symmetries of the submodels, where in some cases we find a symmetry enhancement…
We show that a conical magnetic field ${\bf H}=(1,1,1)H$ can be used to tune the topological order and hence anyon excitations of the $\mathrm{Z_2}$ quantum spin liquid in the isotropic antiferromagnetic Kitaev model. A novel topological…
We investigate the possibility of coexistence between Dirac-like monopoles and Lorentz-violating electrodynamics. For this purpose, we study three distinct models: Myers-Pospelov, Ellis et al. and Gambini-Pullin. In particular, we find that…
In the recent work "Non-reciprocal topological solitons in active metamaterials" (see arXiv:2312.03544v1), for an analytical understanding of the system under consideration, the authors derive an ordinary differential equation for the…
A numerical study of static spherically symmetric monople solutions of a spontaneously broken SU(2) gauge theory coupled to a dilaton field is presented. Regular solutions seem to exist only up to a maximal value of the dilaton coupling. In…
Gauge bosons associated to new gauge symmetries under which the standard model particles are not charged are predicted in many extensions of the standard model of particles and interactions. We show that under very general conditions, the…
The problem of constructing internally rotating solitons of fixed angular frequency $\omega$ in the Faddeev-Skyrme model is reformulated as a variational problem for an energy-like functional, called pseudoenergy, which depends…
A general procedure to reveal an Abelian structure of Yang-Mills theories by means of a (nonlocal) change of variables, rather than by gauge fixing, in the space of connections is proposed. The Abelian gauge group is isomorphic to the…
