نویسنده
چکیده
We study the large N limit in the presence of magnetic monopoles in the Yang-Mills/Higgs model in three dimensions. The physics in the limit depends strongly on the distribution of eigenvalues of the Higgs field in the vacuum, and we propose a particular, nondegenerate configuration. It minimizes the free energy at the moment of symmetry breaking. Given this, the magnetic monopoles show a wide hierarchy of masses, and some are vanishing as 1/N . The dilute gas picture, then, provides an interesting structure in the large N limit. SISSA/ISAS ref: 143/96/EP HEP-TH/9610xxx

The Ohnuki-Kitakado (O-K) scheme of quantum mechanics on S embedded in R is investigated. Generators satisfying the O-K algebra is written down explicitly in term of the induced gauge potential. A direct method is developed to obtain the generators in covariant form. It is seen that the Wu-Yang monopole (D = 2) and the zero size instanton (D = 3) emerge as the induced gauge potential. The relat...

We investigate the five and six-dimensional black strings within EinsteinMaxwell theory. The extremal black strings are endowed with the null Killing symmetry. We study the propagation of Einstein-Maxwell modes in the extremal black string background by using this symmetry. It turns out that one graviton is a propagating mode, while both the Maxwell(F) and three-form (H) fields are non-propagat...

Superstring field theory was recently used to derive a four-dimensional Maxwell action with manifest duality. This action is related to the McClain-Wu-Yu Hamiltonian and can be locally coupled to electric and magnetic sources. In this letter, the manifestly dual Maxwell action is supersymmetrized using N=1 and N=2 superspace.

The effect of topology on the thermodynamics of a gas of adjoint representation charges interacting via 1+1 dimensional SU (N) gauge fields is investigated. We demonstrate explicitly the existence of multiple vacua parameterized by the discrete superse-lection variable k = 1, · · · , N. In the low pressure limit, the k dependence of the adjoint gas equation of state is calculated and shown to b...

The Ohnuki-Kitakado (O-K) scheme of quantum mechanics on S D embedded in R D+1 is investigated. Generators satisfying the O-K algebra are written down explicitly in term of the induced gauge potential. A direct method is developed to obtain the generators in covariant form. It is seen that there exists an induced gauge configuration which is trivial on S D but might cause a nontrivial physical ...
