BPS monopoles in N=2 SUSY theories may lead to monopole condensation and confinement. We have found that supersymmetric black holes with non-vanishing area of the horizon may stabilize the moduli in theories where the potential is…

We study non-Abelian solitons of the Bogomol'nyi type in N=2 (d=2+1) supersymmetric Chern-Simons (CS) and Yang-Mills (YM) theory with a generic gauge group. In CS theory, we find topological, non-topological and semi-local (non-)topological…

Non-abelian gauge theories can be cast into abelian gauge theories with monopoles. We ask what becomes of the instantons after abelian projection. Instantons are found to consist of closed dyon loops. It is shown that the electric charge of…
In this paper we give a mathematical proof of the existence of the time independent and spherically symmetric solution to the 't Hooft-Polyakov model of magnetic monopole by using 2D-shooting method.
In this expository review we discuss various aspects of gauge theory. While the focus is on mathematics, wherever possible we make contact with theoretical high energy physics. Particular emphasis is placed on instantons and monopoles,…
We extend recent discussions about the effect of nonzero temperature on the induced electric charge, due to CP violation, of a Dirac or an 't Hooft-Polyakov monopole. In particular, we determine the fractional electric charge of a very…
The behaviour of magnetic monopole solutions of the Einstein-Yang-Mills-Higgs equations subject to linear spherically symmetric perturbations is studied. Using Jacobi's criterion some of the monopoles are shown to be unstable. Furthermore…
We study a two-dimensional spin-orbit-coupled dipolar Bose-Einstein condensate with repulsive contact interactions by both the variational method and the imaginary time evolution of the Gross-Pitaevskii equation. The dipoles are completely…
We investigate the three dimensional Georgi-Glashow model with a Chern-Simons term. We find that there exist complex monopole solutions of finite action. They dominate the path integral and disorder the Higgs vacuum, but electric charges…
A family of modified Nicole models is introduced. We show that for particular members of the family a topological soliton with a non-trivial value of the Hopf index exists. The form of the solitons as well as their energy and topological…
In higher dimensional gauge theory, we need energies with higher power terms of field strength in order to realize point-wise monopoles. We consider new models with higher power terms of field strength and extraordinary kinetic term of…
Static, spherically symmetric solutions with regular origin are investigated of the Einstein-Yang-Mills theory with a negative cosmological constant $\Lambda$. A combination of numerical and analytical methods leads to a clear picture of…
