Duality, Multi-Monopole Dynamics & Quantum Threshold Bound States
نویسنده
چکیده
Dynamics of supersymmetric monopoles are studied in the low energy approximation. A conjecture for the exact moduli space metric is given for all collections of fundamental monopoles of distinct type, and various partial confirmations of the conjecture are outlined. Upon the quantization of the resulting multi-monopole dynamics in the context of N = 4 supersymmetric Yang-Mills-Higgs theories, one recovers the missing magnetic states that are dual to some of the massive vector mesons. A generalization to monopoles with nonabelian charges is also discussed.

Existence of SL(2,Z) duality in toroidally compactified heterotic string theory (or in the N=4 supersymmetric gauge theories), that includes the strong weak coupling duality transformation, implies the existence of certain supersymmetric bound states of monopoles and dyons. We show that the existence of these bound states, in turn, requires the existence of certain normalizable, (anti-)self-dua...
متن کاملMagnetic Monopole Dynamics, Supersymmetry, and Duality
We review the properties of BPS, or supersymmetric, magnetic monopoles, with an emphasis on their low-energy dynamics and their classical and quantum bound states. After an overview of magnetic monopoles, we discuss the BPS limit and its relation to supersymmetry. We then discuss the properties and construction of multimonopole solutions with a single nontrivial Higgs field. The low-energy dyna...
متن کاملMassless monopole clouds and electric-magnetic duality
We qualitatively discuss the Montonen-Olive electric-magnetic duality in N = 4 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory with non-maximally broken gauge symmetry, where BPS configurations of massless monopole clouds have been found. We argue that these low energy non-Abelian clouds can be identified as the dual of the infrared bremsstrahlung radiations of the non-Abelian massless particles. After we bre...
متن کاملPerturbations of supertube in KK monopole background
We study perturbations of supertube in KK monopole background, at both DBI and supergravity levels. We analyse both NS1-P as well as D0-F1 duality frames and study different profiles. This illuminates certain aspects of bound states of KK monopoles with supertubes. [email protected]
متن کاملDuality and Massless Monopoles
Duality arguments suggest the existence of massless magnetic monopoles in gauge theories with the symmetry broken to a non-Abelian subgroup. I discuss how these arise and show how they are manifested as clouds of massless fields surrounding massive monopoles. The dynamics of these clouds is discussed, and the scattering of massless monopole clouds and massive monopoles is described.
