The two-Higgs-doublet model can be constrained by imposing Higgs-family symmetries and/or generalized CP symmetries. It is known that there are only six independent classes of such symmetry-constrained models. We study the CP properties of…
Complex dynamical systems on the Riemann sphere do not possess ``invariant forms''. However there exist non-trivial examples of dynamical systems, defined over number fields, satisfying the property that their reduction modulo $\wp$…
Quantum Chern-Simons invariants of differentiable manifolds are analyzed from the point of view of homological algebra. Given a manifold M and a Lie (or, more generally, an L-infinity) algebra g, the vector space H^*(M) \otimes g has the…
Duality arguments suggest the existence of massless magnetic monopoles in gauge theories with the symmetry broken to a non-Abelian subgroup. I discuss how these arise and show how they are manifested as clouds of massless fields surrounding…
We investigate monopole solutions for the Born-Infeld Higgs system. We analyze numerically these solutions and compare them with the standard 't Hooft-Polyakov monopoles. We also discuss the existence of a critical value of beta (the…
We propose a new order parameter of a $Z_N$ symmetry in SU(N) gauge theories in $4$ dimensional Minkowski space-time, assuming spatial periodic boundary conditions. It is given by $Tr(P\exp(i\int_c A_{\mu}dx^{\mu}))$ where the spatial path…
Earlier investigations showed local minima in the monopole-antimonopole potential in U(1) gauge theory on the lattice. In this paper we localize monopoles of Monte-Carlo configurations. A statistical analysis of localization measurements…
We construct R-invariant grand unification models with composite Higgs multiplets. Higgs doublets are massless due to the R symmetry, which is not spontaneously broken at the unification scale, while Higgs triplets get large masses from a…
A static configuration of point charges held together by the gravitational attraction is known to be given by the Majumdar-Papapetrou solution in the Einstein-Maxwell theory. We consider a generalization of this solution to non-Abelian…
In a previous paper by one of the authors, a Lagrangian 3-form structure was established for a generalised Darboux system, originally describing orthogonal curvilinear coordinate systems, which encodes the Kadomtsev-Petviashvili (KP)…
We prove the consistency of the different approaches for deriving the black-hole radiation for the spherically symmetric case inside the theory of Massive Gravity. By comparing the results obtained by using the Bogoliubov transformations…
We present analytical and numerical results for static, spherically symmetric solutions of the Einstein Yang-Mills Higgs equations corresponding to magnetic monopoles and non-abelian magnetically charged black holes. In the limit of…
We classify the lattice by elementary 3-cubes which are associated to dual links occupied by, or free of monopoles. We then compute the quark condensate, the quark charge and the chiral density on those cubes. By looking at distributions we…
Superintegrable systems with monopole interactions in flat and curved spaces have attracted much attention. For example, models in spaces with a Taub-NUT metric are well-known to admit the Kepler-type symmetries and provide non-trivial…
Some general features of locally supersymmetric theories (N=1 in four dimensions) involving Chern-Simons forms and antisymmetric tensors are sketched out. The relevance of the three-form multiplet both for the description of Chern-Simons…
We study the twisted Novikov homology of the complement of a complex hypersurface in general position at infinity. We give a self-contained topological proof of the vanishing (except possibly in the middle degree) of the twisted Novikov…
It has been known since decades that imposing a symmetry group G on the scalar sector of multi-Higgs-doublet models has consequences for CP-violation. In all examples of two- and three-Higgs-doublet models equipped with symmetries, one…
Monopoles and solitons have important topological aspects like quantized fluxes, winding numbers and curved target spaces. Naive discretizations which substitute a lattice of points for the underlying manifolds are incapable of retaining…
The planar Kepler problem is complexified and we show that this holomorphic completely integrable Hamiltonian system has nontrivial monodromy.
We perform a lattice study of the phase transition in the $\mathrm{SU}(2)$ Georgi-Glashow model in three dimensions, where the gauge symmetry is broken to $\mathrm{U}(1)$ by the Higgs mechanism and a photon-like state appears. Due to…
