Massless monopole clouds and electric-magnetic duality
We qualitatively discuss the Montonen-Olive electric-magnetic duality in N = 4 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory with non-maximally broken gauge symmetry, where BPS configurations of massless monopole clouds have been found. We argue that these low energy non-Abelian clouds can be identified as the dual of the infrared bremsstrahlung radiations of the non-Abelian massless particles. After we bre...
متن کاملDuality and Massless Monopoles
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 massive monopoles. The dynamics of these clouds is discussed, and the scattering of massless monopole clouds and massive monopoles is described.
متن کاملMassive Monopoles and Massless Monopole Clouds1
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 approximation reveals degrees of freedom that can be attributed to massless monopoles. These do not correspond to distinct solitons, but instead are manifested...

is almost coeval with Maxwell’s equations themselves, although a proof of its validity awaited over a century [1,2]. In addition to countless generalizations of ‘‘duality’’ in field and string theory, it has led to an enormous variety of more precise analogs, in particular to spin 2 [2,3], then to all free massless (integer or half-integer) spin s > 0 systems in flat space [4,5]. In de Sitter (...
متن کاملDuality, Enhanced Symmetry and ‘massless Black Holes’
String theory is defined perturbatively through a set of rules for calculating scattering amplitudes. Perhaps the most important outstanding problem is that of finding the non-perturbative theory whose perturbation theory reproduces that of string theory. This seems a daunting task, but recent progress has led to some striking conjectures regarding the non-perturbative structure of the theory t...
