Monopole-Particle Duality at Strong Electric Coupling
نویسنده
چکیده
We consider the gauge interactions between non-Abelian magnetic monopoles at strong electric coupling. By drawing an analogy between the gauge freedom of an electric particle at weak electric coupling and that of a monopole at strong electric coupling we motivate that these monopoles interact under a magnetic copy of the residual symmetry group. This differs from the interactions of monopoles at weak electric coupling where their magnetic dynamics is expected to be governed by the dual of this group.

Strong-Weak Coupling Duality in Four Dimensional String Theory
We present several pieces of evidence for strong-weak coupling duality symmetry in the heterotic string theory, compactified on a six dimensional torus. These include symmetry of the 1) low energy effective action, 2) allowed spectrum of electric and magnetic charges in the theory, 3) allowed mass spectrum of particles saturating the Bogomol’nyi bound, and 4) Yukawa couplings between massless n...
متن کاملUnwinding Strings and T-duality of Kaluza-Klein and H-Monopoles
A fundamental string with non-zero winding number can unwind in the presence of a Kaluza-Klein monopole. We use this fact to deduce the presence of a zero mode for the Kaluza-Klein monopole corresponding to excitations carrying H-electric charge and we study the coupling of this zero mode to fundamental strings. We also a describe a T-dual process in which the momentum of a fundamental string “...
متن کاملOn The Heterotic Dipole At Strong Coupling
We analyse the dipole solution of heterotic string theory in four dimensions. It has the structure of monopole and anti-monopole connected by flux line (string). Due to growing coupling near the poles, the length of the string diverges. However, exploiting the self-duality of heterotic string theory in four dimension, we argue that this string is correctly described in terms of dual variables.
متن کاملA duality relation : global monopole and texture
We resolve the entire gravitational field;i.e. the Riemann curvature into its electric and magnetic parts. In general, the vacuum Einstein equation is symmetric in active and passive electric parts. However it turns out that the Schwarzschild solution, which is the unique spherically symmetric vacuum solutions can be characterised by a slightly more general equation which is not symmetric. Then...
متن کاملMass of a quantum ’t Hooft-Polyakov monopole
The quantum mechanical mass of ’t Hooft-Polyakov monopoles in the fourdimensional Georgi-Glashow is calculated non-perturbatively using lattice Monte Carlo simulations. This is done by imposing twisted boundary conditions that ensure there is one unit of magnetic charge on the lattice, and measuring the free energy difference between this ensemble and the vacuum. In the weak-coupling limit, the...
