Deformation of sphaleron and bisphaleron solutions by the Born-Infeld modification
Abstract
We study the SU(2) electroweak model in which the standard Yang-Mills coupling is supplemented by a Born-Infeld term. The deformation of the sphaleron and bisphaleron solutions due to the Born-Infeld term is investigated and new branches of solutions are exhibited. Especially, we find a new branch of solutions connecting the Born-Infeld sphaleron to the first solution of the Kerner-Gal'tsov series.
