Symmetric Monopoles

چکیده
We discuss the spectral curves and rational maps associated with SU(2) Bogomolny monopoles of arbitrary charge k. We describe the effect on the rational maps of inverting monopoles in the plane with respect to which the rational maps are defined, and discuss the monopoles invariant under such inversion. We define the strongly centred monopoles, and show they form a geodesic submanifold of the k-monopole moduli space. The space of strongly centred k-monopoles invariant under the cyclic group of rotations about a fixed axis, Ck, is shown to consist of several surfaces of revolution, generalizing the two surfaces obtained by Atiyah and Hitchin in the 2-monopole case. Geodesics on these surfaces give a novel type of k-monopole scattering. We present a number of curves in TP1 which we conjecture are the spectral curves of monopoles with the symmetries of a regular solid. These conjectures are based on analogies with Skyrmions.

Symmetric Calorons
Calorons (periodic instantons) interpolate between monopoles and instantons, and their holonomy gives approximate Skyrmion configurations. We show that, for each caloron charge N ≤ 4, there exists a one-parameter family of calorons which are symmetric under subgroups of the three-dimensional rotation group. In each family, the corresponding symmetric monopoles and symmetric instantons occur as ...
متن کاملBps Monopoles
We review classical BPS monopoles, their moduli spaces, twistor descriptions and dynamics. Particular emphasis is placed upon symmetric monopoles, where recent progress has been made. Some remarks on the role of monopoles in S-duality and Seiberg-Witten theory are also made.
متن کاملInversion symmetric 3-monopoles and the Atiyah-Hitchin manifold
We consider 3-monopoles symmetric under inversion symmetry. We show that the moduli space of these monopoles is an Atiyah-Hitchin submanifold of the 3monopole moduli space. This allows what is known about 2-monopole dynamics to be translated into results about the dynamics of 3-monopoles. Using a numerical ADHMN construction we compute the monopole energy density at various points on two intere...
متن کاملInteraction Energy of ‘t Hooft-Polyakov Monopoles
The dependence of the energies of axially symmetric monopoles of magnetic charges 2 and 3, on the Higgs self-interaction coupling constant, is studied numerically. Comparing the energy per unit topological charge of the charge-2 monopole with the energy of the spherically symmetric charge-1 monopole, we confirm that there is only a repulsive phase in the interaction energy between like monopoles
متن کاملYang - Type Monopoles In 5 Dimensional Curved Space - Time
Motivated by Gibbons and Townsend’s recent work, we construct Yang-Type monopoles in maximally symmetric space-time. We then analyze the dependence of horizon structure of the space-times around the 5-dimensional monopoles on the relative strength of gravitations to Yang-Mills interactions. We also analyze the stability of the monopoles against tensor type perturbations on metrics.
متن کامل0 Monopoles and dyons in SO ( 3 ) gauged Skyrme models
Three dimensional SO(3) gauged Skyrme models characterised by specific potentials imposing special asymptotic values on the chiral field are considered. These models are shown to support finite energy solutions with nonvanishing magnetic and electrix flux, whose energies are bounded from below by two distinct charges – the magnetic (monopole) charge and a non-integer version of the Baryon charg...
