Remarks on the interaction between Born-Infeld solitons
نویسنده
چکیده
We consider the Abelian Higgs model as well as the SU(2) Georgi-Glashow model in which the gauge field action is replaced by a non linear Born-Infeld action. We study soliton solutions arising in these models, namely the vortex and monopole solutions, respectively. We construct formulas which provide good approximations for the mass of the Born-Infeld deformed solitons using only the data of the undeformed solutions. The results obtained indicate that in the self-dual limit, the Born-Infeld interaction leads to bound vortices, while for monopoles it gives rise to repulsion.

Non-abelian Born-infeld Action and Solitons for Critical Non-bps Branes
The non-abelian flat directions in the tachyon potential of stable non-BPS branes recently found are shown to persist to all orders in α′ at tree level in the string coupling. We also obtain the non-abelian Born-Infeld action including the tachyon potential for a stack of stable non-BPS branes on a critical orbifold. Finally we discuss stable soliton states on the non-BPS brane.
متن کامل1 Remarks on T - duality for open strings
This contribution gives in σ-model language a short review of recent work on T-duality for open strings in the presence of abelian or non-abelian gauge fields. Furthermore, it adds a critical discussion of the relation between RG β-functions and the Born-Infeld action in the case of a string coupled to a D-brane. This contribution gives in σ-model language a short review of recent work on T-dua...
متن کاملAnisotropic effects of background fields on Born-Infeld electromagnetic waves
We show exact solutions of the Born-Infeld theory for electromagnetic plane waves propagating in the presence of static background fields. The non-linear character of the Born-Infeld equations generates an interaction between the background and the wave that changes the speed of propagation and adds a longitudinal component to the wave. As a consequence, in a magnetic background the ray directi...
متن کاملBorn-Infeld corrections to Coulombian interactions.
Two-dimensional Born-Infeld electrostatic fields behaving as the superposition of two pointlike charges in the linearized (Maxwellian) limit are investigated by means of a nonholomorphic mapping of the complex plane. The changes in the Coulombian interaction between two charges in Born-Infeld theory are computed. Remarkably, the force between equal charges goes to zero as they approach each other.
متن کاملThe Born-infeld Electromagnetism in Kaluza-klein Theory
We investigate the properties of non-linear electromagnetism based on the Born-Infeld Lagrangian in multi-dimensional theories of Kaluza-Klein type. We consider flat space-time solutions only, which means that the space-time metric is constant, and the only supplementary variable is the dilaton field, a scalar. We show that in the case of Kaluza-Klein theory, the Born-Infeld Lagrangian describe...
