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…
Results are presented from numerical simulations of the Einstein-Maxwell-Higgs equations with a broken U(1) symmetry. Coherent nontopological soliton solutions are shown to exist that separate an Anti-de Sitter (AdS) true vacuum interior…
Non-commutative differential geometry allows a scalar field to be regarded as a gauge connection, albeit on a discrete space. We explain how the underlying gauge principle corresponds to the independence of physics on the choice of vacuum…
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…
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…
Asymptotically warped AdS spacetimes in topologically massive gravity with negative cosmological constant are considered in the case of spacelike stretched warping, where black holes have been shown to exist. We provide a set of asymptotic…
We consider axially symmetric solutions of SU(2) Yang-Mills-Higgs theory in globally AdS spacetime and a fixed Schwarzschild-AdS black hole background. The solutions are characterized by two integers $(m,n)$ where $m$ is related to the…
I discuss possible implications a symmetry relating gravity with antigravity might have for smoothing out of the cosmological constant puzzle. For this purpose, a very simple model with spontaneous symmetry breaking is explored, that is…
We study gravitating monopoles and non-abelian black holes of SU(2) Einstein-Yang-Mills-Higgs theory coupled to a massless dilaton. The domain of existence of these solutions decreases with increasing dilaton coupling constant. The critical…
We present a new class of static axially symmetric solutions of SU(2) Yang-Mills-Higgs theory, where the Higgs field vanishes on rings centered around the symmetry axis. Associating a magnetic dipole moment with each Higgs vortex ring, the…
We would like to present some exact SU(2) Yang-Mills-Higgs monopole solutions of half-integer topological charge. These solutions can be just an isolated half-monopole or a multimonopole with topological magnetic charge, ${1/2}m$, where $m$…
We present new static axially symmetric solutions of SU(2) Yang-Mills-Higgs theory, representing chains of monopoles and antimonopoles in static equilibrium. They correspond to saddlepoints of the energy functional and exist both in the…
A solution to the massless scalar cosmological constant field equations is presented. The solution has imploding scalar and parts of anti-deSitter or deSitter spacetime as limiting cases. Some of the solutions properties are discussed…
We study spherically symmetric soliton solutions in a model with a conformally coupled scalar field as well as in full conformal gravity. We observe that a new type of limiting behaviour appears for particular choices of the self-coupling…
We solve the equations of topologically massive gravity with potentially non-vanishing cosmological constant for homogeneous metrics without isotropy. We only reproduce known solutions. We also discuss their homogeneous deformations,…
We construct multimonopole solutions containing N-1 distinct fundamental monopoles in SU(N) gauge theory. When the gauge symmetry is spontaneously broken to U(1)^{N-1}, the monopoles are all massive, and we show that the fields can be…
We argue that there are no axially symmetric rotating monopole solutions for a Yang-Mills-Higgs theory in flat spacetime background. We construct axially symmetric Yang-Mills-Higgs solutions in the presence of a negative cosmological…
Z(n) monopoles are important for the understanding of Goddard-Nuyts-Olive duality when the scalar field is not in the adjoint representation. We analyze the Z(2) monopole solutions in a SU(n) Yang-Mills-Higgs theory spontaneously broken to…
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…
A classical solution for a magnetic monopole is found in a specific multi-vector boson theory. We consider the model whose $[SU(2)]^{N+1}$ gauge group is broken by sigma-model fields (\`a la dimensional deconstruction) and further…
