Interaction Energy of ‘t Hooft-Polyakov Monopoles

چکیده
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

Generalisations of the 't Hooft-Polyakov monopole which can exhibit repulsion only, attraction only, and both attraction and repulsion, between like monopoles, are studied numerically. The models supporting these solitons are SO(3) gauged Higgs models featuring Skyrme-like terms.
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...
متن کاملMore on core instabilities of magnetic monopoles
In this paper we present new results on the core instability of the ’t Hooft Polyakov monopoles we reported on before. This instability, where the spherical core decays in a toroidal one, typically occurs in models in which charge conjugation is gauged. In this paper we also discuss a third conceivable configuration denoted as “split core”, which brings us to some details of the numerical metho...
متن کاملDyons in Nonabelian Born–Infeld Theory
We analyze a nonabelian extension of Born–Infeld action for the SU(2) group. In the class of spherically symmetric solutions we find that, besides the Gal’tsov–Kerner glueballs, only the analytic dyons have finite energy. The presented analytic and numerical investigation excludes the existence of pure magnetic monopoles of ’t Hooft–Polyakov type.
