A Monopole Metric
نویسنده
چکیده
We calculate explicitly in terms of complete elliptic integrals the metric on the moduli space of tetrahedrally-symmetric, charge four, SU(2) monopoles. Using this we verify that in the asymptotic regime the metric of Gibbons and Manton is exact up to exponentially suppressed corrections. ∗This work was supported in part by the Nuffield Foundation

Monopoles and Clusters
We define and study certain hyperkähler manifolds which capture the asymptotic behaviour of the SU(2)-monopole metric in regions where monopoles break down into monopoles of lower charges. The rate at which these new metrics approximate the monopole metric is exponential, as for the Gibbons-Manton metric.
متن کاملA Self-gravitating Dirac-Born-Infeld Global Monopole
We generalize the field theory of global monopole to Dirac-Born-Infeld(DBI) field and investigate the gravitational property of a DBI global monopole in four-dimensional spherically symmetric spacetime. The coupled equations for the metric and the DBI scalar field are solved asymptotically and numerically. It is found that, just as a canonical global monopole, the gravitational effect of DBI gl...
متن کاملThe gravitational field of a global monopole
We present an exact solution to the non-linear equation which describes a global monopole in the flat space. We re-examine the metric and the geodesics outside the global monopole. We will see that a global monopole produces a repulsive gravitational field outside the core in addition to a solid angular deficit. The lensing property of the global monopole and the global monopole-antimonopole an...
متن کاملEinstein-maxwell-dirac and Seiberg-witten Monopole Equations
We present unique solutions of the Seiberg-Witten Monopole Equations in which the U(1) curvature is covariantly constant, the monopole Weyl spinor consists of a single constant component, and the 4-manifold is a product of two Riemann surfaces of genuses p1 and p2. There are p1 − 1 magnetic vortices on one surface and p2−1 electric ones on the other, with p1 + p2 ≥ 2 (p1 = p2 = 1 being excluded...
متن کاملFermions in a Global Monopole Background
We study the scattering of fermions in a " global monopole " background metric. This is the four-dimensional analogue of the scattering on a cone in three dimensions. The scattering amplitude is exactly obtained. We then study mass-less fermion-dyon systems in such a background metric. The density of the S-wave fermion condensate is found to be given by a constant times the flat space value of ...
متن کاملMultidimensional Global Monopole and Nonsingular Cosmology
We consider a spherically symmetric global monopole in general relativity in (D = d + 2)-dimensional spacetime. The monopole is shown to be asymptotically flat up to a solid angle defect in case γ < d−1, where γ is a parameter characterizing the gravitational field strength. In the range d− 1 < γ < 2d(d+ 1)/(d+ 2) the monopole space-time contains a cosmological horizon. Outside the horizon the ...
