Axisymmetric non-abelian BPS monopoles from G2 metrics

چکیده
Exact SU(2)×U(1) self-gravitating BPS global monopoles in four dimensions are constructed by dimensional reduction of eight dimensional metrics with G2 holonomy asymptotic to cones over S × S. The solutions carry two topological charges in an interesting way. They are generically axially but not spherically symmetric. This last fact is related to the isometries and asymptotic topology of the G2 metrics. It is further shown that some G2 metrics known numerically reduce to supersymmetric cosmic strings.

Non-Linear / Non-Commutative Non-Abelian Monopoles
Using recently proposed non-linearly realized supersymmetry in non-Abelian gauge theory corrected to O(α′), we derive the non-linear BPS equations in the background B-field for the U(2) monopoles and instantons. We show that these non-Abelian non-linear BPS equations coincide with the non-commutative anti-self-dual equations via the Seiberg-Witten map.
متن کاملG2-monopoles with singularities (examples)
G2-monopoles are solutions to gauge theoretical equations onG2-manifolds. If the G2-manifolds under consideration are compact, then any irreducible G2-monopole must have singularities. It is then important to understand which kind of singularities G2-monopoles can have. We give examples (in the noncompact case) of non-Abelian monopoles with Dirac type singularities, and examples of monopoles wh...
متن کاملWalls and Vortices in Supersymmetric Non-abelian Gauge Theories
We review recent results on the BPS multi-wall solutions in supersymmetric U(NC) gauge theories in five dimensions with NF(> NC) hypermultiplets in the fundamental representation. Total moduli space of the BPS non-Abelian walls is found to be the complex Grassmann manifold SU(NF)/[SU(NC)×SU(NF−NC)×U(1)]. Exact solutions are obtained with full generic moduli for infinite gauge coupling. A 1/4 BP...

We construct spherically and axially symmetric monopoles in SU(5) YangMills-Higgs theory both in flat and curved space as well as spherical and axial non-abelian, “hairy” black holes. We find that in analogy to the SU(2) case, the flat space monopoles are either non-interacting (in the BPS limit) or repelling. In curved space, however, gravity is able to overcome the repulsion for suitable choi...
