We study finite energy topologically stable static solutions to a global symmetry breaking model in 3 + 1 dimensions described by an isovector scalar field. The basic features of two different types of configurations are studied, corresponding to axially symmetric multisolitons with topological charge n, and unstable soliton–antisoliton pairs with zero topological charge.

In this work we deal with coverings and actions of Lie groupgroupoids being a sort of the structured Lie groupoids. Firstly, we define an action of a Lie group-groupoid on some Lie group and the smooth coverings of Lie group-groupoids. Later, we show the equivalence of the category of smooth actions of Lie group-groupoids on Lie groups and the category of smooth coverings of Lie group-groupoids.

A four-dimensional Walker geometry is a four-dimensional manifold M with a neutral metric g and a parallel distribution of totally null two-planes. This distribution has a natural characterization as a projective spinor field subject to a certain constraint. Spinors therefore provide a natural tool for studying Walker geometry, which we exploit to draw together several themes in recent explicit...
