We study spherically and axially symmetric monopoles of the SU(2) Einstein-Yang-Mills-Higgs-dilaton (EYMHD) system with a new coupling between the dilaton field and the covariant derivative of the Higgs field. This coupling arises in the study of (4+1)-dimensional vortices in the Einstein-Yang-Mills (EYM) system.
We study axially symmetric monopoles of both the SU(2) Yang-Mills-Higgs-Dilaton (YMHD) as well as of the SU(2) Einstein-Yang-Mills-Higgs-Dilaton (EYMHD) system. We find that equally to gravity, the presence of the dilaton field can render an attractive phase. We also study the influence of a massive dilaton on the attractive phase in the YMHD system.
We study the SU(2) electroweak model in which the standard Yang-Mills coupling is supplemented by a Born-Infeld term. The deformation of the sphaleron and bisphaleron solutions due to the Born-Infeld term is investigated and new branches of solutions are exhibited. Especially, we find a new branch of solutions connecting the Born-Infeld sphaleron to the first solution of the Kerner-Gal'tsov series.
We study gravitating monopoles and non-abelian black holes of SU(2) Einstein-Yang-Mills-Higgs theory coupled to a massless dilaton. The domain of existence of these solutions decreases with increasing dilaton coupling constant. The critical solutions of this system are Einstein-Maxwell-dilaton solutions.
We investigate static axially symmetric monopole and black hole solutions with magnetic charge n > 1 in Einstein-Yang-Mills-Higgs theory. For vanishing and small Higgs selfcoupling, multimonopole solutions are gravitationally bound. Their mass per unit charge is lower than the mass of the n=1 monopole. For large Higgs selfcoupling only a repulsive phase exists. The static axially symmetric hairy black hole solutions possess a deformed horizon with constant surface gravity. We consider their properties in the isolated horizon framework, interpreting them as bound states of monopoles and black holes. Representing counterexamples to the ``no-hair'' conjecture, these black holes are neither uniquely characterized by their horizon area and horizon charge.
New examples of matrix quasi exactly solvable Schroedinger operators are constructed. One of them constitutes a matrix generalization of the quasi exactly solvable anharmonic oscillator, the corresponding invariant vector space is constructed explicitely. Also investigated are matrix generalizations of the Lame equation.
We construct monopole solutions in SU(2) Einstein-Yang-Mills-Higgs theory, carrying magnetic charge n. For vanishing and small Higgs selfcoupling, these multimonopole solutions are gravitationally bound. Their mass per unit charge is lower than the mass of the n=1 monopole. For large Higgs selfcoupling only a repulsive phase exists.
Three dimensional SO(3) gauged Skyrme models characterised by specific potentials imposing special asymptotic values on the chiral field are considered. These models are shown to support finite energy solutions with nonvanishing magnetic and electrix flux, whose energies are bounded from below by two distinct charges - the magnetic (monopole) charge and a non-integer version of the Baryon charge. Unit magnetic charge solutions are constructed numerically and their properties characterised by the chosen asymptotics and the Skyrme coupling are studied. For a particular value of the chosen asymptotics, charge-2 axially symmetric solutions are also constructed and the attractive nature of the like-monopoles of this system are exhibited. As an indication towards the possible existence of large clumps of monopoles, some consideration is given to axially symmetric monopoles of charges-2,3,4.
We construct axially symmetric dyons in SU(2) Yang-Mills-Higgs theory. In the Prasad-Sommerfield limit, they are obtained via scaling relations from axially symmetric multimonopole solutions. For finite Higgs self-coupling they are constructed numerically.
We study static spherically symmetric gravitating dyon solutions and dyonic black holes in Einstein-Yang-Mills-Higgs theory. The gravitating dyon solutions share many features with the gravitating monopole solutions. In particular, gravitating dyon solutions and dyonic black holes exist up to a maximal coupling constant, and beside the fundamental dyon solutions there are excited dyon solutions.
