The Desale-Ramanan Theorem is an isomorphism between the moduli space of rank two vector bundles over complex hyperelliptic curve and the variety of linear subspaces in an intersection of two quadrics. We prove a real version of this…
The problem of quantizing a particle on a 2-sphere has been treated by numerous approaches, including Isham's global method based on unitary representations of a symplectic symmetry group that acts transitively on the phase space. Here we…
Unified theories of strong, weak and electromagnetic interactions which have electric charge quantization predict the existence of topologically stable magnetic monopoles. Intermediate scale monopoles are comparable with detection energies…
Spherically symmetric solutions of the SU(N) Einstein-Yang-Mills-Higgs system are constructed using the harmonic map ansatz. The problem reduces to solving a set of ordinary differential equations for the appropriate profile functions. In…
We extend the investigation of BPS saturated t'Hooft-Polyakov monopoles in $\mathcal{M}^{2}\times S^{2}$ to the general case of $SU(N)$ gauge symmetry. This geometry causes the resulting $N-1$ coupled non-linear ordinary differential…
For hole systems with an effective spin j=3/2, we present an invariant decomposition of the spin density matrix that can be interpreted as a multipole expansion. The charge density corresponds to the monopole moment and the spin…
We study extensions of the measure of maximal entropy to suitable compactifications of the parameter space and the moduli space of rational maps acting on the Riemann sphere. For parameter space, we consider a space which resolves the…
Gauge field configuration for a magnetic monopole and its dual configuration are studied in SU(2) gauge theory. We present a relation between the monopole field and its dual field. Since these fields can become massive, their massive…
For N>2 we present static monopole solutions of the second order SU(N) BPS Yang-Mills-Higgs equations which are not solutions of the first order Bogomolny equations. These spherically symmetric solutions may be interpreted as monopole…
We consider proper holomorphic maps of ball complements and differences in complex euclidean spaces of dimension at least two. Such maps are always rational, which naturally leads to a related problem of classifying rational maps taking…
The geometry of minimal surfaces generated by charge 2 Bogomolny monopoles on 3-dimensional Euclidean space is described in terms of the moduli parameter k. We find that the distribution of Gaussian curvature on the surface reflects the…
We study, in detail, the supersymmetric quantum mechanics of charge-(1,1) monopoles in N=2 supersymmetric Yang-Mills-Higgs theory with gauge group SU(3) spontaneously broken to U(1) x U(1). We use the moduli space approximation of the…
We utilize the close relation between the complex space $\textbf{C}^2$ and the real space $\textbf{R}^3$ to reformulate quantum mechanics in a manner which allows to, either or both, describe magnetic monopoles and quantize the underlying…
Using recently proposed non-linearly realized supersymmetry in non-Abelian gauge theory corrected to the order (alpha')^2, we derive the non-linear BPS equations in the background B-field for the U(2) monopoles and instantons. We show that…
This research announcement gives a brief report of the main results in our paper "PU(2) monopoles, I: Regularity, Uhlenbeck compactness, and transversality" (Journal of Differential Geometry, to appear). We describe the existence of…
We present the first numerical solution that corresponds to a pair of Cho-Maison monopole and antimonopole (MAP) in the SU(2)$\times$U(1) Weinberg-Salam (WS) theory. The monopoles are finitely separated, while each pole carries magnetic…
We consider the space of degree $n\ge 2$ rational maps of the Riemann sphere with $k$ distinct marked periodic orbits of given periods. First, we show that this space is irreducible. For $k=2n-2$ and with some mild restrictions on the…
In 2+1-dimensional conformal field theories with a global U(1) symmetry, monopoles can be introduced through a background gauge field that couples to the U(1) conserved current. We use the state-operator correspondence to calculate scaling…
We entirely compute the cohomology for a natural and large class of $\mathfrak{osp}(1|2)$ modules $M$. We study the restriction to the $\mathfrak{sl}(2)$ cohomology of $M$ and apply our results to the module $M={\mathfrak D}_{\lambda,\mu}$…
We propose a new definition for the abelian magnetic charge density of a non-abelian monopole, based on zero-modes of an associated Dirac operator. Unlike the standard definition of the charge density, this density is smooth in the core of…
