The standard model has the electroweak monopole which has the magnetic charge $4\pi/e$, as a hybrid between the Dirac and 'tHooft-Polyakov monopoles. We argue that it may have new type of monopoles, in particular the neutral monopole (``the…
The Georgi-Glashow model equations of motion are examined by general static spherically symmetric real and complex parametrizations of gauge fields in arbitrary gauge. Their connection with the known `t Hooft-Polyakov and Julia-Zee…
We investigate Georgi-Glashow model in terms of a set of explicitly SO(3) gauge invariant dynamical variables. In the new description a novel compact abelian gauge invariance emerges naturally. As a consequence magnetic monopoles occur as…
Monopole-like objects have been identified in multiple lattice studies, and there is now a significant amount of literature on their importance in phenomenology. Some analytic indications of their role, however, are still missing. The 't…
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…
We study monopoles and gluon fields in QCD in the maximally abelian (MA) gauge in the context of the dual superconductor picture for confinement. In the abelian gauge, unit-charge magnetic monopoles appear, but multi-charge monopoles do not…
We study the Yang-Mills-Higgs system within the framework of general relativity. In the static situation, using Bogomol'nyi type analysis, we derive a positive-definite energy functional which has a lower bound. Specializing to the gauge…
We deal with the presence of magnetic monopoles in a non Abelian model that generalizes the standard 't~Hooft-Polyakov model in three spatial dimensions. We investigate the energy density of the static and spherically symmetric solutions to…
We present a new type of spherically symmetric monopole and dyon solutions with the magnetic charge $ 4\pi/e$ in the standard Weinberg-Salam model. The monopole (and dyon) could be interpreted as a non-trivial hybrid between the abelian…
Deep insights into the possible infrared dynamics of strongly-coupled nonAbelian gauge theories such as QCD come from the analyses of ${\cal N}=1$ or ${\cal N}=2$ supersymmetric gauge theories. Central in the whole discussion will be the…
It is known that a non-Abelian magnetic monopole cannot rotate globally (although it may possess a nonzero angular momentum density). At the same time, the total angular momentum of a magnetic dipole equals the electric charge. In this work…
In this paper, making use of the 't Hooft-Polyakov-Julia-Zee ansatz for the SU(2) Yang-Mills-Higgs gauge field theory, we present the straightforward generalization of the Bogomoln'yi equations and its several consequences. Particularly,…
A systematic approach to the description of gauge invariant charges is presented and applied to the construction of both the static colour charge configuration in QCD and the monopole solution in pure SU(2). The gauge invariant non-abelian…
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.…
Within modified gravity, we study static spherically and axially symmetric self-gravitating non-Abelian monopoles in $SU(2)$ Yang-Mills-Higgs theory. By comparing these monopoles with those obtained in Einstein-Yang-Mills-Higgs theory, we…
We study the three-dimensional Georgi-Glashow model to demonstrate how magnetic monopoles can be studied fully non-perturbatively in lattice Monte Carlo simulations, without any assumptions about the smoothness of the field configurations.…
Regular magnetic monopoles in the non-Abelian Born-Infeld-Higgs theory are known to exist in the region of the field strength parameter $\beta>\beta_{{\rm cr}}$, bounded from below. Beyond this region, only pointlike (embedded abelian)…
Non-Abelian monopoles are present in the fully quantum mechanical low-energy effective action of many solvable supersymmetric theories. They behave perfectly as pointlike particles carrying non-Abelian dual magnetic charges. They play a…
We conjecture that a T-dual form of pure QCD describes dynamics of point-like monopoles. T-duality transforms the QCD Lagrangian into a matrix quantum mechanics of zerobranes which we identify with monopoles. At generic points of the…
Central role played by certain non-Abelian monopoles (of Goddard-Nuyts-Olive-Weinberg type) in the infrared dynamics in many confining vacua of softly broken ${\cal N}=2$ supersymmetric gauge theories, has recently been clarified. We…
