The Bogomolny equations for Yang-Mills-Higgs monopoles follow from a system of linear equations which may be solved through a parametric Riemann-Hilbert problem. We extend this approach to noncommutative R^3 and use it to (re)construct…
In this paper, we study on the one-plus-half monopole configuration in SU(2) Yang-Mills-Higgs theory when the $\phi$-winding number, $n$, runs from 2 to 4 and for a range of Higgs coupling constant, $\lambda_b \leq \lambda \leq 40$, where…
A geometric definition for a magnetic charge of Abelian monopoles in SU(N) lattice gauge theories with Higgs fields is presented. The corresponding local monopole number defined for almost all field configurations does not require gauge…
Axially symmetric monopole anti-monopole dipole solutions to the second order equations of a simple SU(2) Yang-Mills-Higgs model featuring a quartic Skyrme-like term are constructed numerically. The effect of varying the Skyrme coupling…
We consider perturbations in the fields of the 't Hooft-Polyakov monopole, dyon and point electric solutions. We find a series of bound modes where the fields are confined to the core of the respective solutions, and these are interpreted…
We show that gravity cures the infra-red divergence of the Yang monopole when a proper definition of conserved quantities in curved backgrounds is used, i.e. the gravitating Yang monopole in cosmological Einstein theory has a finite mass in…
Dynamics of many supersymmetric monopoles are studied in the low energy approximation. A conjecture for the exact moduli space metric is given for all collections of fundamental monopoles of distinct type, and various partial confirmations…
We show the generic existence of metastable massive gravitons in the four-dimensional core of self-gravitating hypermonopoles in any number of infinite-volume extra-dimensions. Confinement is observed for Higgs and gauge bosons couplings of…
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…
Z(n) monopoles are important for the understanding of Goddard-Nuyts-Olive duality when the scalar field is not in the adjoint representation. We analyze the Z(2) monopole solutions in a SU(n) Yang-Mills-Higgs theory spontaneously broken to…
We consider non-Abelian dyons in Einstein-Yang-Mills-Higgs theory. The dyons are spherically symmetric with unit magnetic charge. For large values of the electric charge the dyons approach limiting solutions, related to the Penney solutions…
We find a self-gravitating monopole and its black hole solution in Brans-Dicke theory. We mainly discuss the properties of these solutions in the Einstein frame and compare the solutions with those in general relativity.
We prove the existence of the gravitating BPS monopole in Einstein-Yang-Mills-Higgs (EYMH) theory. Existence is established using a Newtonian perturbation argument which shows that a Yang-Mills-Higgs BPS monopole solution can be be…
In monopole-antimonopole chain solutions of SU(2) Yang-Mills-Higgs theory the Higgs field vanishes at m isolated points along the symmetry axis, whereas in vortex ring solutions the Higgs field vanishes along one or more rings, centered…
We present new analytic and numerical results for self-gravitating SU(2)-Higgs magnetic monopoles approaching the black hole threshold. Our investigation extends to large Higgs self-coupling, lambda, a regime heretofore unexplored. When…
Considering a Skyrme model with a peculiar gauging of the symmetry, monopole-like solutions exist through a topological lower bound. However, it was recently shown that these objects cannot form bound states in the limit of vanishing Skyrme…
We consider the Abelian Higgs model as well as the SU(2) Georgi-Glashow model in which the gauge field action is replaced by a non linear Born-Infeld action. We study soliton solutions arising in these models, namely the vortex and monopole…
We study static spherically-symmetric solutions of non-Abelian gauge theory coupled to Conformal Gravity. We find solutions for the self-gravitating pure Yang-Mills case as well as monopole-like solutions of the Higgs system. The former are…
We present a sum rule for Higgs fields in general representations under $SU(2)_L \times U(1)_Y$ that follows from the connection between the Higgs couplings and the mechanism that gives the electroweak bosons their masses, and at the same…
We obtain BPS Z(2) monopole solutions in Yang-Mills-Higgs theories with the gauge group SU(n) broken to Spin(n)/Z(2) by a scalar field in the nxn representation. We show that the magnetic weights of the so-called fundamental Z(2) monopoles…
