Spherically symmetric monopole solutions

Abstract:

Classical gauge theories are studied for spherically symmetric monopole solutions. The Higgs field is taken in the adjoint representation and in the limit of vanishing self-interaction. The equations of motion can be represented by a Lax pair.

Using techniques from group representation theory, explicit solutions are obtained in the case of the principal embedding of the symmetry group SU(2) in the bigger gauge group. The parameters of the solutions can be chosen to give finite fiel...
