Yves Brihaye (University of Mons, Belgium), Betti Hartmann, (University of Durham, United Kingdom)

TL;DR
This paper investigates how the dilaton field affects the properties of monopoles in SU(2) Yang-Mills-Higgs and Einstein-Yang-Mills-Higgs systems, revealing that the dilaton can induce an attractive phase similar to gravity.
Contribution
It demonstrates that the dilaton field can create an attractive phase in monopole solutions, extending understanding of monopole interactions in these gauge theories.
Findings
Dilaton induces an attractive phase in monopole configurations.
Massive dilaton influences the strength of the attractive phase.
Analogous effects of gravity and dilaton on monopole interactions.
Abstract
We study axially symmetric monopoles of both the SU(2) Yang-Mills-Higgs-Dilaton (YMHD) as well as of the SU(2) Einstein-Yang-Mills-Higgs-Dilaton (EYMHD) system. We find that equally to gravity, the presence of the dilaton field can render an attractive phase. We also study the influence of a massive dilaton on the attractive phase in the YMHD system.
