Static spherically symmetric monopole solutions in the presence of a dilaton field
Peter Forgacs, Jozsef Gyurusi (Research Ins. for Particle, Nucl., Phys, Budapest)
TL;DR
This paper numerically investigates monopole solutions in a gauge theory coupled with a dilaton, revealing a maximal coupling limit and discovering new radial excitation solutions not present without the dilaton.
Contribution
It introduces the first numerical analysis of monopoles with a dilaton, identifying a maximal coupling and a novel family of excited solutions.
Findings
Regular solutions exist only up to a maximal dilaton coupling.
A discrete family of radial excitation solutions is found.
The solutions generalize the 't Hooft-Polyakov monopole to include dilaton effects.
Abstract
A numerical study of static spherically symmetric monople solutions of a spontaneously broken SU(2) gauge theory coupled to a dilaton field is presented. Regular solutions seem to exist only up to a maximal value of the dilaton coupling. In addition to the generalization of the 't Hooft-Polyakov monopole a discrete family of regular solutions is found, corresponding to radial excitations, absent in the theory without dilaton.
