Using the spectral theory of weakly convergent sequences of finite graphs, we prove the uniform existence of the integrated density of states for a large class of infinite graphs.
Hyperbolic monopole solutions can be obtained from circle-invariant ADHM data if the curvature of hyperbolic space is suitably tuned. Here we give explicit ADHM data corresponding to axial hyperbolic monopoles in a simple, tractable form,…
We present a systematic exploration of a general family of effective $SU(2)$ models with an adjoint scalar. First, we discuss a redundancy in this class of models and use it to identify seemingly different, yet physically equivalent models.…
We develop the Ercolani-Sinha construction of SU(2) monopoles and make this effective for (a five parameter family of centred) charge 3 monopoles. In particular we show how to solve the transcendental constraints arising on the spectral…
Quantization of a system constrained to move on a sphere is considered by taking a square root of the ``on sphere condition''. We arrive at the fibre bundle structure of the Hopf map in the cases of $S^{2} $and $S^{4}$. This leads to more…
The fundamental properties of $J$-holomorphic maps depend on two inequalities: The gradient inequality gives a pointwise bound on the differential of a $J$-holomorphic map in terms of its energy. The cylinder inequality stipulates and…
We prove a monotone Sobolev extension theorem for maps to Jordan domains with rectifiable boundary in metric surfaces of locally finite Hausdorff 2-measure. This is then used to prove a uniformization result for compact metric surfaces by…
The monotonicity of entropy is investigated for real quadratic rational maps on the real circle $\mathbb{R}\cup\{\infty\}$ based on the natural partition of the corresponding moduli space $\mathcal{M}_2(\mathbb{R})$ into its monotonic,…
The electromagnetic decay and final annihilation of magnetic monopole-antimonopole pairs formed in the early universe has been proposed as a possible mechanism to produce the highest energy cosmic rays. We show that for a monopole abundance…
Let $S$ be a punctured Riemann surface with Euler characteristic $\chi(S)<0$. For any unitary representation $\rho: \pi_1(S) \to U(N)$, we introduce its renormalized energy and its harmonic representatives, which are equivariant harmonic…
We study analysis over infinite dimensional manifolds consisted by sequences of almost Kaehler manifolds. We develop moduli theory of pseudo holomorphic curves into such spaces with high symmetry. Many mechanisms of the standard moduli…
We provide a new general scheme for the geometric quantisation of $\operatorname{Sp}(1)$-symmetric hyper-K\"ahler manifolds, considering Hilbert spaces of holomorphic sections with respect to the complex structures in the hyper-K\"ahler…
We analyse the stability of global O(3) monopoles in the infinite cut-off (or scalar mass) limit. We obtain the perturbation equations and prove that the spherically symmetric solution is classically stable (or neutrally stable) to axially…
Chern number formulas for holomorphic jet bundles are computed for projective curves and for projective surfaces. These formulas are used to show that certain minimal surfaces of general type (generic hypersurfaces of degree at least 5 in…
Magnetic monopoles in Yang-Mills-Higgs theory with a non-abelian unbroken gauge group are classified by holomorphic charges in addition to the topological charges familiar from the abelian case. As a result the moduli spaces of monopoles of…
Some arithmetic properties of spectral curves are discussed: the spectral curve, for example, of a charge $n\ge2$ Euclidean BPS monopole is not defined over $\overline{\mathbb{Q}}$ if smooth.
We describe the scattering of D-strings stretched between D3-branes, working from the D-string perspective. From the D3-brane perspective the ends of the D-strings are magnetic monopoles, and so the scattering we describe is equivalent to…
The NJL model has recently been extended with a method to simulate confinement. This leads in mean field approximation to a natural mechanism for the saturation of nuclear matter. We use the model to investigate the equation of state of…
We construct a number of explicit examples of hyperbolic monopoles, with various charges and often with some platonic symmetry. The fields are obtained from instanton data in four-dimensional Euclidean space that are invariant under a…
For monopoles with nonvanishing Higgs potential it is shown that with respect to "Brandt-Neri-Coleman type" variations (a) the stability problem reduces to that of a pure gauge theory on the two-sphere (b) each topological sector admits…
