Magnetic half-monopole solutions

Magnetic half-monopole solutions
Magnetic half-monopole solutions
We present exact SU(2) Yang‐Mills‐Higgs monopole solutions of one half topological charge. These non‐Abelian solutions possess gauge potentials which are singular along either the positive or the negative z‐axis and common magnetic fields that are singular only at the origin where the half‐monopole is located. These half‐monopoles are actually a half Wu‐Yang monopole and they can possess a finite point electric charge and become half‐dyons. They do not necessarily satisfy the first order Bogomol’nyi equations and they possess infinite energy density at r = 0.

Abstract

We present exact SU(2) Yang‐Mills‐Higgs monopole solutions of one half topological charge. These non‐Abelian solutions possess gauge potentials which are singular along either the positive or the negative z‐axis and common magnetic fields that are singular only at the origin where the half‐monopole is located. These half‐monopoles are actually a half Wu‐Yang monopole and they can possess a finite point electric charge and become half‐dyons. They do not necessarily satisfy the first order Bogomol’nyi equations and they possess infinite energy density at r = 0.
