We construct spherically and axially symmetric monopoles in SU(5) Yang-Mills-Higgs theory both in flat and curved space as well as spherical and axial non-abelian, ''hairy'' black holes. We find that in analogy to the SU(2) case, the flat…
The properties of BPS monopoles carrying nonabelian magnetic charges are investigated by following the behavior of the moduli space of solutions as the Higgs field is varied from a value giving a purely abelian symmetry breaking to one that…

Motivated by the recent D-brane constructions of world-volume monopoles and instantons, we study the supersymmetric SU(N) Yang-Mills theory on $S^1 \times R^{3+1}$, spontaneously broken by a Wilson loop. In addition to the usual N-1…
We construct solutions of an Einstein-Yang-Mills system including a cosmological constant in 4+n space-time dimensions, where the n-dimensional manifold associated with the extra dimensions is taken to be Ricci flat. Assuming the matter and…
It has been shown that D0-D$p$ $(p=2, 4, 6, 8)$ systems can be BPS in the presence of $B$-field even if they are not otherwise. We review the number of remaining supersymmetries, the open string ground state spectrum and the construction of…
We study the BPS condition in the $\Omega$-deformed $\mathcal{N}=2$ super Yang-Mills theory when one of the $\epsilon$-parameters of the background is zero. We obtain the deformed BPS equation for dyons and the formula for their central…
Generalising the results in arXiv:1612.00281, we construct infinite-dimensional families of non-singular stationary space times, solutions of Yang-Mills-Higgs-Einstein-Maxwell-Chern-Simons-dilaton-scalar field equations with a negative…
We construct new family of spherically symmetric regular solutions of $SU(2)$ Yang-Mills theory coupled to pure $R^2$ gravity. The particle-like field configurations possess non-integer non-Abelian magnetic charge. A discussion of the main…
We study the spectrum of BPS states in N=4 supersymmetric U(N) Yang-Mills theory. This theory has been proposed to describe M-theory on T^3 in the discrete light-cone formalism. We find that the degeneracy of irreducible BPS bound states in…
The solutions of the Bogomolny equation in anti-de Sitter space-time are obtained by using Darboux transformations with both constant spectral parameters and variable "spectral parameters". These solutions give the Yang-Mills-Higgs fields…
We investigate several models of coupled scalar fields that present discrete Z_2, Z_2 x Z_2, Z_3 and other symmetries. These models support topological domain wall solutions of the BPS and non-BPS type. The BPS solutions are stable, but the…
The BPS limit of the inhomogeneous abelian Higgs model is considered in $(1+2)$-dimensions. The second order Bogomolny equation is examined in the presence of an inhomogeneity expressed as a function of spatial coordinates. Assuming a…
Scalar bosonic stars (BSs) stand out as a multi-purpose model of exotic compact objects. We enlarge the landscape of such (asymptotically flat, stationary, everywhere regular) objects by considering multiple fields (possibly) with different…
For gauge groups SO$(n{+}1)$, SU$(m{+}1)$ and Sp$(\ell{+}1)$, we construct equivariant Yang-Mills solutions on de Sitter space in $n{+}1$, $2(m{+}1)$ and $4(\ell{+}1)$ spacetime dimensions. The latter is conformally mapped to a finite…
We investigate the role of massless magnetic monopoles in the N=4 supersymmetric Yang-Mills Higgs theories. They can appear naturally in the 1/4-BPS dyonic configurations associated with multi-pronged string configurations. Massless…
In this work we establish every spherically symmetric non-Abelian Z(2) monopole generated by su(2) embeddings in the SU(4) Yang-Mills-Higgs model minimally broken to SO(4) by a symmetric second-rank tensor Higgs field. We find new monopole…
We construct nearly topological Yang-Mills theories on eight dimensional manifolds with a special holonomy group. These manifolds are the Joyce manifold with $Spin(7)$ holonomy and the Calabi-Yau manifold with SU(4) holonomy. An invariant…
An exact one monopole solution in a uniform self-dual background field is obtained in the BPS limit of the SU(2) Yang-Mills-Higgs theory by using the inverse scattering method.
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…
