We introduce a gauge invariant topological definition of monopole charge in pure SU(2) gluodynamics. The non-trivial topology is provided by hedgehog configurations of the non-Abelian field strength tensor on the two-sphere surrounding the…
We consider a Georgi-Glashow model conformally coupled to gravity. The conformally invariant action includes a triplet of scalar fields and SO(3) non-Abelian gauge fields. However, the usual mass term $\mu^2 \phi^2$ is forbidden by the…
The Georgi-Glashow model equations of motion are examined by general static spherically symmetric real and complex parametrizations of gauge fields in arbitrary gauge. Their connection with the known `t Hooft-Polyakov and Julia-Zee…
It is shown that SU(N) gauge theory coupled to adjoint Higgs can be explicitly re-written in terms of SU(N) gauge invariant dynamical variables with local physical interactions. The resultant theory has a novel compact abelian $U(1)^{(N -…
A direct connection is proved between the Non-Abelian Bianchi Identities(NABI), and the abelian Bianchi identities for the 't Hooft tensor. As a consequence the existence of a non-zero magnetic current is related to the violation of the…
We study the Yang-Mills-Higgs system within the framework of general relativity. In the static situation, using Bogomol'nyi type analysis, we derive a positive-definite energy functional which has a lower bound. Specializing to the gauge…
Changes in magnetic helicity are often discussed across a variety of fields, from condensed matter physics to early universe cosmology. It is frequently stated that the helicity change is given by the integral of the gauge field strength…
It is known that a non-Abelian magnetic monopole cannot rotate globally (although it may possess a nonzero angular momentum density). At the same time, the total angular momentum of a magnetic dipole equals the electric charge. In this work…
We discuss some properties of the abelian monopoles in compact U(1) gauge theory and in the SU(2) gluodynamics both on the lattice and in the continuum.
Renormalization group (RG) smoothing is employed on the lattice to investigate and to compare the monopole structure of the SU(2) vacuum as seen in different gauges (maximally Abelian (MAG), Polyakov loop (PG) and Laplacian gauge (LG)).…
Viewing gravitational energy momentum $p_G^\mu$ as equal by observation, but different in essence from inertial energy-momentum $p_I^\mu$ requires two different symmetries to account for their independent conservations - spacetime and inner…
Within modified gravity, we study static spherically and axially symmetric self-gravitating non-Abelian monopoles in $SU(2)$ Yang-Mills-Higgs theory. By comparing these monopoles with those obtained in Einstein-Yang-Mills-Higgs theory, we…
It is shown that modular invariance provides a natural explanation for the absence of monopoles when assumed to be a discrete gauge symmetry. It follows that monopoles can not be seen because it is always possible to find a suitable…
The monopoles play important roles in physics. In this work we discuss the new monopoles in non-Abelian gauge theories, the standard model, the Georgi-Glashow model, and QCD. The standard model has two totally different types of monopoles,…
The number and the location of monopoles in Lattice configurations depend on the choice of the gauge, in contrast to the obvious requirement that monopoles, as physical objects, have a gauge-invariant status. It is proved, starting from…
Using a renormalization group motivated smoothing technique, we investigate the large scale structure of lattice configurations at finite temperature, concentrating on Abelian monopoles identified in the maximally Abelian, the Laplacian…
Three topics of monopole dynamics in gluodynamics are presented. 1)Gauge (in)dependence of the monopole effective action (S.Ito, T.W.Park, T.Suzuki): Four different abelian projections are studied. MA and Laplacian abelian gauges show…
We introduce a gauge invariant definition of a monopole on the lattice. The construction is based on the observation that for each Wilson loop there exists an extra U(1) group which leaves the loop invariant. Since the lattice formulation…
We investigate the Laplacian Abelian gauge on the sphere S^4 in the background of a single `t Hooft instanton. To this end we solve the eigenvalue problem of the covariant Laplace operator in the adjoint representation. The ground state…
Magnetic monopole solutions naturally arise in the context of spontaneously broken gauge theories. When the unbroken symmetry includes a non-Abelian subgroup, investigation of the low-energy monopole dynamics by means of the moduli space…
