Dirac and Yang monopoles revisited
نویسنده
چکیده
The Dirac monopoles in 3-space and their generalization by C. N. Yang to 5-space are observed to be just the Levi-Civita spin connection of the cylindrical Riemannian metric on the 3and 5dimensional punctured spaces. Their straightforward generalization to higher dimensions is also investigated.

On Explicit Point Multi-Monopoles in SU(2) Gauge Theory
It is well known that the Dirac monopole solution with the U(1) gauge group embedded into the group SU(2) is equivalent to the SU(2) Wu-Yang point monopole solution having no Dirac string singularity. We consider a multi-center configuration of m Dirac monopoles and n antimonopoles and its embedding into SU(2) gauge theory. Using geometric methods, we construct an explicit solution of the SU(2)...
متن کاملDirac-Yang monopoles and their regular counterparts
The Dirac-Yang monopoles are singular Yang–Mills field configurations in all Euclidean dimensions. The regular counterpart of the Dirac monopole in D = 3 is the t Hooft-Polyakov monopole, the former being simply a gauge transform of the asymptotic fields of the latter. Here, regular counterparts of Dirac-Yang monopoles in all dimensions, are described. In the first part of this talk the hierarc...
متن کاملHow to get rid of Dirac worldsheets in the Cho-Fadeev-Niemi representation of SU (2) Yang-Mills theory
In this paper, we present an exact procedure to deal with Dirac strings or worldsheets in gauge theories containing ensembles of monopoles interacting with charged fields. For SU(2) Yang-Mills theory, initially we construct the appropriate change of variables of the charged fields (including charged ghosts and auxiliary fields) so that the only change in the integrand of the partition function,...
متن کاملSupersymmetric Quantum Mechanics of Magnetic Monopoles: A Case Study
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)×U(1). We use the moduli space approximation of the quantised dynamics, which can be expressed in two equivalent formalisms: either one describes quantum states by Dirac spinors on the moduli space, in which case ...
متن کاملNoncommutative Monopoles and Riemann-Hilbert Problems
The Bogomolny equations for Yang-Mills-Higgs monopoles follow from a system of linear equations which may be solved through a parametric Riemann-Hilbert problem. We extend this approach to noncommutative R and use it to (re)construct noncommutative Dirac, Wu-Yang, and BPS monopole configurations in a unified manner. In all cases we write down the underlying matrix-valued functions for multi-mon...
