We consider axially symmetric SU(2) Yang-Mills-Higgs (YMH) multimonopoles in Brans-Dicke theory for winding number n > 1. In analogy to the spherically symmetric n=1 solutions, we find that the axially symmetric solutions exist for higher…
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…

We present analytic monopole and dyon solutions whose energy is fixed by the electroweak scale. Our result shows that genuine electroweak monopole and dyon could exist whose mass scale is much smaller than the grand unification scale.
Magnetic singularities, also known as magnetic monopoles or Bloch points, represent intriguingphenomena in nanomagnetism. We show that a pair of coupled Bloch points may appear as alocalized, stable state in cubic chiral magnets. Detailed…
Magnetic monopoles have provided a rich field of study, leading to a wide area of research in particle physics, solid state physics, ultra-cold gases, superconductors, cosmology, and gauge theory. So far, no true magnetic monopoles were…

We discuss a class of effective extensions of the $SU(2)$ Georgi-Glashow model and discuss its Bogomol'nyi-Prasad-Sommerfield (BPS) limit. We identify a specific subclass of these models that admit analytical solutions of the monopole type.…
In this paper, we show the existence of magnetic monopoles in the pure $SU(2)$ Yang--Mills theory even in absence of scalar fields when the gauge-invariant mass term is introduced. This result follows from the recent proposal for obtaining…
In the SU(2)_{L} x U(1)_{Y} standard electroweak theory coupled with the Einstein gravity, new topological configurations naturally emerge, if the spatial section of the universe is globally a three-sphere(S^3) with a small radius. The…
In this paper, we examine the Dirac monopole in the framework of Off-Shell Electromagnetism, the five dimensional U(1) gauge theory associated with Stueckelberg-Schrodinger relativistic quantum theory. After reviewing the Dirac model in…
The amplitude for the scattering of a point magnetic monopole and a point charge, at centre-of-mass energies much larger than the masses of the particles, and in the limit of low momentum transfer, is shown to be proportional to the…
We show that the electroweak monopole can be regularized with a non-vacuum electromagnetic permittivity. This allows us to set a new BPS bound for the monopole mass, which implies that the mass may not be smaller than 2.98 TeV, more…
We present a gauge and Lorentz invariant model for the scattering of matter off magnetic poles, which justifies the presence of velocity-dependent magnetic charges as an effective description of either the behaviour of monopoles in…
