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…
We investigate all spherically symmetric fundamental monopole solutions with fixed topological charge in the SU(5) --> SU(3)xSU(2)xU(1)/Z_3xZ_2 symmetry breaking. We find that there is three-fold replication of the monopoles. The three…
We study charge k SU(2) BPS monopoles which are symmetric under the cyclic group of order k. Approximate twistor data (spectral curves and Nahm data) is constructed using a new technique based upon a Painleve analysis of Nahm's equation…
We consider a Yang-Mills-Higgs theory with gauge group $G=SU(n)$ broken to $G_{v} = [SU(p)\times SU(n-p)\times U(1)]/Z$ by a Higgs field in the adjoint representation. We obtain monopole solutions whose magnetic field is not in the Cartan…

We consider axially symmetric SU(2) Yang-Mills-Higgs (YMH) multimonopoles in Brans-Dicke theory for winding number n > 1. In analogy to the spherically symmetric n=1 solutions, we find that the axially symmetric solutions exist for higher…
Exact $SU(2)\times U(1)$ self-gravitating BPS global monopoles in four dimensions are constructed by dimensional reduction of eight dimensional metrics with $G_2$ holonomy asymptotic to cones over $S^3\times S^3$. The solutions carry two…
Behavior of static axially symmetric monopole-antimonopole and vortex ring solutions of the SU(2) Yang-Mills-Higgs theory in an external uniform magnetic field is considered. It is argued that the axially symmetric monopole-antimonopole…
Low energy dynamics of magnetic monopoles and anti-monopoles in the U(2) gauge theory is studied in the Higgs (non-Abelian superconducting) phase. The monopoles in this superconducting phase are not spherical but are of slender ellipsoid…
We study static spherically symmetric monopole solutions in non-Abelian Einstein-Born-Infeld-Higgs model with normal trace structure. These monopoles are similar to the corresponding solution with symmetrised trace structure and are…
We review classical monopole solutions of the SU(2) Yang-Mills-Higgs theory. The first part is a pedagogical introduction into to the basic features of the celebrated 't Hooft - Polyakov monopole. In the second part we describe new classes…
We give arguments for the existence of ``radial excitations'' of gravitational global monopoles with any number of zeros of the Higgs field and present numerical results for solutions with up to two zeros. All these solutions possess a de…
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 find both analytical and numerical solutions of SU(2) Yang-Mills with an adjoint Higgs field within both closed and open tubes whose sections are spherical caps. This geometry admits a smooth limit in which the space-like metric is flat…
The existence of nonsingular classical magnetic monopole solutions is usually understood in terms of topologically nontrivial Higgs field configurations. We show that finite energy magnetic monopole solutions also exist within a class of…
We study the properties of classical vortex solutions in a non-Abelian gauge theory. A system of two adjoint Higgs fields breaks the SU(2) gauge symmetry to $Z_2$, producing 't Hooft-Polyakov monopoles trapped on cosmic strings, termed…
Existence of SL(2,Z) duality in toroidally compactified heterotic string theory (or in the N=4 supersymmetric gauge theories), that includes the strong weak coupling duality transformation, implies the existence of certain supersymmetric…
We construct static axially symmetric solutions of SU(2) Einstein-Yang-Mills-Higgs theory in the topologically trivial sector, representing gravitating monopole--antimonopole pairs, linked to the Bartnik-McKinnon solutions.
We study SU(2) BPS monopoles with spectral curves of the form $\eta^3+\chi(\zeta^6+b \zeta^3-1)=0$. Previous work has has established a countable family of solutions to Hitchin's constraint that $L^2$ was trivial on such a curve. Here we…
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…
