We show that the presence of finite-size monopoles can lead to a number of interesting physical processes involving quantum entanglement of charges. Taking as a model the classical solution of the N=2 SU(2) Yang-Mills theory, we study…
We analyze a nonabelian extension of Born--Infeld action for the SU(2) group. In the class of spherically symmetric solutions we find that, besides the Gal'tsov--Kerner glueballs, only the analytic dyons have finite energy. The presented…
The Cho-Maison monopole provides a monopole solution of the electroweak field equations, but possesses an infinite classical energy due to the Maxwell form of the hypercharge sector. Motivated by string-inspired effective field theories, we…
We show that in the dual version of the generalized Dick model monopole-anti-monopole pairs have finite energy. It is possible to use the potential between monopole and anti-monopole to find the mass spectrum of the glueballs. The results…
We present a self-consistent ansatz for a new sphaleron in the electroweak standard model. The resulting field equations are solved numerically. This sphaleron sets the height of the energy barrier for the global SU(2) anomaly.
We show that the magnetic monopole promoted to the dyon due to the vacuum angle $\theta$ resolves the U(1) problem in the sense that the dyon obtained in this way gives a dominant contribution to the topological susceptibility. For this…
A modified $SU(2)$ Georgi-Glashow model is considered here, and it is shown that besides the well-known Julia-Zee dyon solution, the model can also have a modified dyon solution. The properties of the modified dyon solution are studied…
We prove the existence of dark monopole solutions in a recently formulated Yang--Mills--Higgs theory model with technical features similar to the classical monopole problems. The solutions are obtained as energy-minimizing static…

There exist several types of monopole - like topological defects in Electroweak theory. We investigate properties of these objects using lattice numerical methods. The intimate connection between them and the dynamics of the theory is…
We consider dyon configurations in the standard electroweak model. In the presence of a $\theta$ term and no fermions, the usual result $q = (n+\theta /2\pi ) e$ is obtained for the electric charge spectrum. The effect of including standard…
We present results on the two-loop leading and angular-dependent next-to-leading logarithmic virtual corrections to arbitrary processes at energies above the electroweak scale. In the `t Hooft-Feynman gauge the relevant Feynman diagrams…
We study the low energy evolution of coupling constants of the standard model and show that gauge coupling unification can be achieved at the electroweak scale with a suitable normalization. We choose the grand unification group to be the…
We propose a novel pathway to generate the electroweak scale (EW) via non-perturbative dynamics of a dark gauge sector based on the SU(N) gauge group. Imposing the scale invariance of the theory, we investigate the electroweak symmetry…
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…
We discuss radiative electroweak symmetry breaking with non-universal scalar masses at the GUT scale. Large $\tan\beta$ solutions are investigated in detail and it is shown that qualitatively new (as compared to the universal case)…
We argue that the existence of the electroweak monopole predicts the existence of the electroweak string in the standard model made of monopole-antimonopole pair separated infinitely apart, which carry the quantized magnetic flux $4 \pi…
The conditions obtained by Salam for a general gauge theory to be renormalizable are derived. They require that in a gauge invariant formalism the bare boson mass associated with the massive non-Abelian vector field is zero. A solution to…
