Octahedral and Dodecahedral Monopoles

چکیده
It is shown that there exists a charge five monopole with octahedral symmetry and a charge seven monopole with icosahedral symmetry. A numerical implementation of the ADHMN construction is used to calculate the energy density of these monopoles and surfaces of constant energy density are displayed. The charge five and charge seven monopoles look like an octahedron and a dodecahedron respectively. A scattering geodesic for each of these monopoles is presented and discussed using rational maps. This is done with the aid of a new formula for the cluster decomposition of monopoles when the poles of the rational map are close together.

Exact Polynomial Eigenmodes for Homogeneous Spherical 3-Manifolds
Observational data hint at a finite universe, with spherical manifolds such as the Poincaré dodecahedral space tentatively providing the best fit. Simulating the physics of a model universe requires knowing the eigenmodes of the Laplace operator on the space. The present article provides explicit polynomial eigenmodes for all globally homogeneous 3-manifolds: the Poincaré dodecahedral space S3/...
متن کاملPerfect $2$-colorings of the Platonic graphs
In this paper, we enumerate the parameter matrices of all perfect $2$-colorings of the Platonic graphs consisting of the tetrahedral graph, the cubical graph, the octahedral graph, the dodecahedral graph, and the icosahedral graph.
متن کاملAlternative Tilings for Improved Surface Area Estimates by Local Counting Algorithms
In this paper, we first review local counting methods for perimeter estimation of piecewise smooth binary figures on square, hexagonal, and triangular grids. We verify that better perimeter estimates, using local counting algorithms, can be obtained using hexagonal or triangular grids. We then compare surface area estimates using local counting techniques for binary three-dimensional volumes un...
متن کاملCation sites in Al-rich MgSiO3 perovskites
Local structure analysis of Al-containing magnesium silicate perovskite has been carried out with X-ray absorption spectra recorded at the Mg, Al, and Si K-edges using the SA32 beam-line of SuperAco (Orsay, France). The Al-XAFS spectrum of (MgSi)0.85Al0.3O3 perovskite (synthesized in a multi-anvil apparatus) cannot be explained by assuming that Al31 occurs in octahedral or dodecahedral sites on...
متن کاملSpectral curves and the mass of hyperbolic monopoles
The moduli spaces of hyperbolic monopoles are naturally fibred by the monopole mass, and this leads to a nontrivial mass dependence of the holomorphic data (spectral curves, rational maps, holomorphic spheres) associated to hyperbolic multi-monopoles. In this paper, we obtain an explicit description of this dependence for general hyperbolic monopoles of magnetic charge two. In addition, we show...
