Researchers constructed multimonopole solutions in SU(2) Einstein-Yang-Mills-Higgs theory. These solutions are gravitationally bound for small Higgs self-coupling, with lower mass per unit charge than single monopoles.

Area of Science:

  • Theoretical Physics
  • High Energy Physics
  • Mathematical Physics

Background:

  • Monopole solutions are fundamental in gauge theories.
  • SU(2) Einstein-Yang-Mills-Higgs theory unifies fundamental forces.
  • Understanding multimonopole behavior is key to exploring complex field configurations.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To construct and analyze multimonopole solutions in SU(2) Einstein-Yang-Mills-Higgs theory.
  • To investigate the influence of Higgs self-coupling on monopole interactions.
  • To determine the gravitational binding and mass properties of these solutions.

Main Methods:

  • Analytical construction of monopole solutions.
  • Numerical analysis of solution properties.
  • Investigation of the parameter space related to Higgs self-coupling.

Main Results:

  • Successfully constructed multimonopole solutions with magnetic charge n.
  • Found that solutions are gravitationally bound for vanishing and small Higgs self-coupling.
  • Observed that the mass per unit charge decreases with increasing n, being lower than the n=1 case.
  • Identified a repulsive phase for large Higgs self-coupling.

Conclusions:

  • Multimonopole solutions exhibit complex behavior dependent on Higgs self-coupling.
  • Gravitational binding and reduced mass per unit charge are significant findings for specific coupling regimes.
  • The existence of a repulsive phase at large coupling suggests phase transitions in the theory.
