We consider 5d Yang-Mills theory with a compact ADE-type gauge group $G$ on ${\mathbb R}^{3,1}\times{\cal I}$, where $\cal I$ is an interval. The maximally supersymmetric extension of this model appears after compactification on $S^1$ of 6d…
A general analytic spherically symmetric solution of the Bogomol'nyi equations is found. It depends on two constants and one arbitrary function on radius and contains the Bogomol'nyi-Prasad-Sommerfield and Singleton solutions as particular…
As shown by Taubes, in the Bogomol'nyi-Prasad-Sommerfield limit the SU(2) Yang-Mills-Higgs model possesses smooth finite energy solutions, which do not satisfy the first order Bogomol'nyi equations. We construct numerically such a…
In this work, BPS models built from the coupling of Yang-Mills-Higgs Lagrangian to impurities are investigated. We first consider scalar impurities, which in the BPS limit generate monopoles similar to those obtained in a previously…
This paper is concerned with magnetic monopole solutions of SU(3) Yang-Mills-Higgs system beyond the Bogomol'nyi-Prasad-Sommerfield limit. The different SU(2) embeddings, which correspond to the fundamental monopoles, as well the embedding…
The present manuscript discusses a remarkable phenomenon concerning non-linear and non-integrable field theories in $(3+1)$-dimensions, living at finite density and possessing non-trivial topological charges and non-Abelian internal…
It is shown that, in the theory of interacting Yang -Mills fields and a Higgs field, there is a topological degeneracy of Bogomol'nyi-Prasad-Sommerfield (BPS) monopoles and that there arises, in this case, a chromoelectric monopole…
We study the higher derivative chiral models with four supercharges and BPS states in these models. The off-shell Lagrangian generically includes higher powers of the auxiliary fields F which causes distinct on-shell branches associated…
We find static spherically symmetric monopoles in Einstein-Born-Infeld-Higgs model in 3+1 dimensions. The solutions exist only when a parameter $\a $ (related to the strength of Gravitational interaction) does not exceed certain critical…
We consider solutions of the Yang-Mills-Higgs system coupled to gravity in asymptotically de Sitter spacetime. The basic features of two classes of solutions are discussed, one of them corresponding to magnetic monopoles, the other one to…
We consider the gravitational properties of a global monopole on the basis of the simplest Higgs scalar triplet model in general relativity. We begin with establishing some common features of hedgehog-type solutions with a regular center,…
We study spherically symmetric solutions of an $SO(5)$ Chern-Simons--Yang-Mills-Higgs system in $3+1$ dimensions. The Chern-Simons densities are defined in terms of both Yang-Mills fields and a $5$-component isomultiplet Higgs. The…
For three conspicuous gauge groups, namely, SU(2), SU(3) and SO(5), and at first order in the noncommutative parameter matrix h\theta^{\mu\nu}, we construct smooth monopole --and, some two-monopole-- fields that solve the noncommutative…
We have found analytical self-dual solutions within the generalized Yang-Mills-Higgs model introduced in Phys. Rev. D 86, 085034 (2012). Such solutions are magnetic monopoles satisfying Bogomol'nyi-Prasad-Sommerfield (BPS) equations and…
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 consider a version of the Skyrme model where both the kinetic term and the Skyrme term are multiplied by field-dependent coupling functions. For suitable choices, this "dielectric Skyrme model" has static solutions saturating the…
A gauge transformation provided by the three eigenfunctions of $\B^a(x) \cdot \B^b(x)$ (where $\B^a(x)$, with a=1,2,3, are the non-Abelian magnetic fields) exposes the topological configurations of the Yang-Mills fields. In particular, it…
We study the minimization of multi-Higgs models with symmetries that are softly-broken. The powerful method of geometric minimization enables analytic minimization of multi-Higgs models with large symmetries. When these symmetries are…
We consider rigid-body quantization of the Skyrmion in the most general four-derivative generalization of the Skyrme model with a potential giving pions a mass, as well as in a class of higher-order Skyrme models. We quantize the spin and…
We review work on construction of Monopoles in higher dimensions. These are solutions to a particular class of models descending from Yang--Mills systems on even dimensional bulk, with Spheres as codimensions. The topological lower bounds…
