We study the BPS states of the M-fivebrane which correspond to monopoles of N=2 SU(2) gauge theory. Far away from the centres of the monopoles these states may be viewed as solitons in the Seiberg-Witten effective action. It is argued that…
Using a plaquette formulation for lattice gauge models we describe monopoles of the three dimensional SU(2) theory which appear as configurations in the complete axial gauge and violate the continuum Bianchi identity. Furthemore we derive a…
In this work, we generalize Sacks-Uhlenbeck's existence result for harmonic spheres, constructing for $n \ge 2$, regular, non-trivial, $n$-harmonic $n$-spheres into suitable target manifolds. We obtain an infinite family of new…
We investigated a behavior of monopole currents in the high temperature phase of abelian projected finite temperature SU(2) QCD in maximally abelian gauge. Wrapped monopole currents which are closed by periodic boundary play an important…
We give an account of old and new results concerning many types of non-K\"ahler metrics, with focus on the problem of their coexistence on compact complex manifolds, and their behaviour at deformations and blow-up. We also describe a…
A generalization of the Hawking-Hayward quasilocal mass to scalar-tensor gravity is compared, in vacuo and for asymptotically flat stationary geometries, with a recent multipole expansion of the gravitational field. The quasilocal mass seen…
Classical and quantum dynamics of two distinct BPS monopoles in the case of non-aligned Higgs fields are studied on the basis of the recently determined low energy effective theory. Despite the presence of a specific potential together with…
We report the theoretical prediction and experimental observation of a new class of four-dimensional (4D) tensor singularities and their three-dimensional (3D) Euler-class descendants, protected by chiral and spacetime inversion symmetries…
We give an explicit example of the embedding of a near BPS low-energy (U(1) x USp(2M))/Z_2 gauge theory into a high-energy theory with a simple gauge group and adjoint matter content. This system possesses degenerate monopoles arising from…
We study periodic monopoles satisfying some mild conditions, called of GCK type. Particularly, we give a classification of periodic monopoles of GCK type in terms of difference modules with parabolic structure, which is a kind of…
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.…
The non-relativistic dynamics of a spin-1/2 particle in a monopole field possesses a rich supersymmetry structure. One supersymmetry, uncovered by d'Hoker and Vinet, is of the standard type: it squares to the Hamiltonian. In this paper we…
Recently evidence appeared that instantons and monopoles have a certain local correlation in four-dimensional pure $SU(2)$ and $SU(3)$ gauge theory. We visualize several specific gauge field configurations and show directly that there is an…
Applications to holographic theories have led to some recent interest in magnetic monopoles in four-dimensional Anti-de Sitter spacetime. This paper is concerned with a study of these monopoles, using both analytic and numerical methods. An…
Measures are introduced to quantify the degree of superposition in mixed states with respect to orthogonal decompositions of the Hilbert space of a quantum system. These superposition measures can be regarded as analogues to entanglement…
BPS monopoles on $\mathbb{R}^2\times S^1$ correspond, via the generalized Nahm transform, to certain solutions of the Hitchin equations on the cylinder $\mathbb{R}\times S^1$. The moduli space M of two monopoles with their centre-of-mass…
In recent years, the near diagonal asymptotics of the equivariant components of the Szeg\"{o} kernel of a positive line bundle on a compact symplectic manifold have been studied extensively by many authors. As a natural generalization of…
In this article we study Cohen-Macaulay modules over one-dimensional hypersurface singularities and the relationship with the representation theory of associative algebras using methods of cluster tilting theory. We give a criterion for…
We investigate the monopole-instanton correlation in SU(2) lattice gauge theory using a renormalisation group inspired smoothing technique. We look at the properties of monopole clusters and their correlation with instantons. Since the…
After a review of the general properties of holomorphic spheres in complex surfaces we describe the local geometry in the vicinity of a CP^1 embedded with a negative normal bundle. As a by-product, we build (asymptotically locally…
