SU (2) Yang-Mills theory coupled in a non-minimal way to two scalar fields is discussed. For the massless scalar fields a family of finite energy solutions generated by an external, static electric charge is found. Additionally, there is a single solution which can be interpreted as confining one. Similar solutions have been obtained in the magnetic sector. In case of massive scalar fields the ...

A multidimensional gravitational model with several scalar fields, fields of forms and cosmological constant is considered. When scalar fields are constant and composite p-brane monopole-like ansatz for the fields of forms is adopted, a wide class of solutions on product of n + 1 Einstein spaces is obtained. These solutions are composite p-brane generalizations of the Freund-Rubin solution. Som...

A generation mechanism of the non-Abelian gauge fields in the SU(N) gauge theory is investigated. We show that the SU(N) gauge fields ensuring the local invariance of the theory are generated at the quantum level only due to nonsmoothness of the scalar phases of the fundamental spinor fields. The expressions for the gauge fields are obtained in terms of the nonsmooth scalar phases.

We introduce a set of scalar fields as test fields to study the dynamical behaviors of the BTZ(Banados-Teitelboim-Zanelli) black hole. These include minimally coupled scalar, conformally coupled scalar, dilaton, and tachyon. To calculate the decay rate of the BTZ black hole, we consider both the Dirichlet boundary condition at spatial infinity and the stability condition. It turns out that the ...

As a candidate for dark matter in galaxies, we study an SU(3) triplet of complex scalar fields which are non-minimally coupled to gravity. In the spherically symmetric static spacetime where the flat rotational velocity curves of stars in galaxies can be explained, we find simple solutions of scalar fields with SU(3) global symmetry broken to U(1) × U(1), in an exponential scalar potential, whi...

This paper investigates the late-time behaviour of certain cosmological models where oscillations play an essential role. Rigorous results are proved on the asymptotics of homogeneous and isotropic spacetimes with a linear massive scalar field as source. Various generalizations are obtained for nonlinear massive scalar fields, k-essence models and f (R) gravity. The effect of adding ordinary ma...

This work deals with the formation of black hole in bidimensional dilaton gravity coupled to scalar matter fields. We investigate two scalar matter systems, one described by a sixth power potential and the other defined with two scalar fields containing up to the fourth power in the fields. The topological solutions that appear in these cases allow the formation of black holes in the correspond...

The dynamical behaviour of domain boundaries between different realizations of the vacuum of scalar fields with spontaneously broken phases is investigated. They correspond to zero-modes of the Goldstone fields, moving with the speed of light, and turn out to be accompanied by strongly oscillating gravitational fields. In certain space-time topologies this leads to a quantization condition for ...

As an extension of our previous study, we derive slow-roll conditions for multiple scalar fields which are non-minimally coupled with gravity and for generalized gravity theories of the form f(φ,R). We provide simple formulae of the spectral indices of scalar/tensor perturbations in terms of the slow-roll parameters. Extended Slow-Roll Conditions and Primordial Fluctuations: Multiple Scalar Fie...

We introduce a set of scalar fields as test fields to study the dynamical behaviors of the BTZ(Banados-Teitelboim-Zanelli) black hole. These include minimally coupled scalar, conformally coupled scalar, and dilaton. To calculate the decay rate of the BTZ black hole, we consider both the Dirichlet boundary condition at spatial infinity and the matching procedure. It turns out that the dilaton is...
