G2-monopoles with singularities (examples)

چکیده
G2-monopoles are solutions to gauge theoretical equations onG2-manifolds. If the G2-manifolds under consideration are compact, then any irreducible G2-monopole must have singularities. It is then important to understand which kind of singularities G2-monopoles can have. We give examples (in the noncompact case) of non-Abelian monopoles with Dirac type singularities, and examples of monopoles whose singularities are not of that type. We also give an existence result for Abelian monopoles with Dirac type singularities on compact manifolds. This should be one of the building blocks in a gluing construction aimed at constructing non-Abelian ones.

Structure and Dynamics of Monopoles in Axial-Gauge QCD
An investigation of singular fields emerging in the process of transforming QCD to the axial gauge is presented. The structure of the singularities is analyzed. It is shown that apart from well known neutral magnetic monopole singularities, the field configurations also exhibit singularities in their charged and transverse components. This complex singularity structure guarantees finite non-Abe...
متن کاملDuality and Fibrations on G2 Manifolds
We argue that G2 manifolds for M-theory admitting string theory Calabi-Yau duals are fibered by coassociative submanifolds. Dual theories are constructed using the moduli space of M5-brane fibers as target space. Mirror symmetry and various string and M-theory dualities involving G2 manifolds may be incorporated into this framework. To give some examples, we construct two noncompact manifolds w...
متن کاملVacuumless torsion defects.
Vacuumless defects in space-times with torsion may be obtained from vacuum defects in spacetimes without torsion.This idea is applied to planar domain walls and global monopoles.In the case of domain walls exponentially decaying Higgs type potentials are obtained.In the case of global monopoles torsion string type singularities are obtained like the string singularities in Dirac monopoles.
متن کاملAxisymmetric non-abelian BPS monopoles from G2 metrics
Exact SU(2)×U(1) self-gravitating BPS global monopoles in four dimensions are constructed by dimensional reduction of eight dimensional metrics with G2 holonomy asymptotic to cones over S × S. The solutions carry two topological charges in an interesting way. They are generically axially but not spherically symmetric. This last fact is related to the isometries and asymptotic topology of the G2...
متن کاملLaplacian gauge and instantons
Topological excitations produce obstructions to making the gauge field smooth everywhere. Therefore, they should appear as singularities in an otherwise smooth gauge. This offers the possibility of identifying such excitations via gaugefixing. After gauge-fixing, the gauge field becomes singular, and the gauge ill-defined, on a sub-manifold characterizing the topological excitations. Even thoug...
