Dyons of One Half Monopole Charge

We would like to present some exact SU(2) Yang-Mills-Higgs dyon solutions of one half monopole charge. These static dyon solutions satisfy the first order Bogomol'nyi equations and are characterized by a parameter, $m$. They are axially symmetric. The gauge potentials and the electromagnetic fields possess a string singularity along the negative z-axis and hence they possess infinite energy density along the line singularity. However the net electric charges of these dyons which varies with the parameter $m$ are finite.Comment: 16 pages, 7 figure

Static Monopoles and Their Anti-Configurations

Recently, we have reported on the existence of some monopoles, multimonopole, and antimonopoles configurations. In this paper we would like to present more monopoles, multimonopole, and antimonopoles configurations of the magnetic ansatz of Ref.\cite{kn:9} when the parameters $p$ and $b$ of the solutions takes different serial values. These exact solutions are a different kind of BPS solution. They satisfy the first order Bogomol'nyi equation but possess infinite energy. They can have radial, axial, or rotational symmetry about the z-axis. We classified these serial solutions as (i) the multimonopole at the origin; (ii) the finitely separated 1-monopoles; (iii) the screening solutions of multimonopole and (iv) the axially symmetric monopole solutions. We also give a construction of their anti-configurations with all the magnetic charges of poles in the configurations reversed. Half-integer topological magnetic charge multimonopole also exist in some of these series of solutions.Comment: 20 pages with 4 figure

Generalized Jacobi Elliptic One-Monopole - Type A

We present new classical generalized one-monopole solution of the SU(2) Yang-Mills-Higgs theory with the Higgs field in the adjoint representation. We show that this generalized solution with $\theta$-winding number $m=1$ and $\phi$-winding number $n=1$ is an axially symmetric Jacobi elliptic generalization of the 't Hooft-Polyakov one-monopole. We construct this axially symmetric one-monopole solution by generalizing the large distance asymptotic solution of the 't Hooft-Polyakov one-monopole to the Jacobi elliptic functions and solving the second order equations of motion numerically when the Higgs potential is vanishing and non vanishing. These solutions are regular non-BPS finite energy solutions.Comment: 17 pages, 5 figure

Dynamical role of anyonic excitation statistics in rapidly rotating Bose gases

We show that for rotating harmonically trapped Bose gases in a fractional quantum Hall state, the anyonic excitation statistics in the rotating gas can effectively play a {\em dynamical} role. For particular values of the two-dimensional coupling constant $g = -2\pi \hbar^2 (2k-1)/m$, where $k$ is a positive integer, the system becomes a noninteracting gas of anyons, with exactly obtainable solutions satisfying Bogomol'nyi self-dual order parameter equations. Attractive Bose gases under rapid rotation thus can be stabilized in the thermodynamic limit due to the anyonic statistics of their quasiparticle excitations.Comment: 4 pages of RevTex4; as published in Physical Review Letter

Topological and Nontopological Solitons in a Gauged O(3) Sigma Model with Chern-Simons term

The $O(3)$ nonlinear sigma model with its $U(1)$ subgroup gauged, where the gauge field dynamics is solely governed by a Chern-Simons term, admits both topological as well as nontopological self-dual soliton solutions for a specific choice of the potential. It turns out that the topological solitons are infinitely degenerate in any given sector.Comment: Few minor changes have been made. To appear in Phys. Lett.

Moduli Space Dynamics of a First-Order Vortex System

The moduli space dynamics of vortices in the Jackiw-Pi model where a non-relativistic Schrodinger field couples minimally to Chern-Simons gauge field, is considered. It is shown that the difficulties in direct application of Manton's method to obtain a moduli-space metric in the first order system can be circumvented by turning the Lagrangian into a second order system. We obtain exact metrics for some simple cases and describe how the vortices respond to an external U(1) field. We then construct an effective Lagrangian describing dynamics of the vortices. In addition, we clarify strong-weak coupling duality between fundamental particles and vortices.Comment: 9 pages, Latex, Corrections include

Self-dual Gauged CPNCP^N Models

We consider a $CP^N$ model with the subgroup $SU(r)$ completely gauged, where $1 < r < N+1$. The gauge field dynamics is solely governed by a nonabelian Chern-Simons term and the global $SU(N+1)$ symmetry is broken explicitly by introducing a $SU(r)$ invariant scalar potential. We obtain self-dual equations of this gauged $CP^N$ model and find that the energy is bounded from below by a linear combination of the topological charge and a global $U(1)$ charge present in the theory. We also discuss on the self-dual soliton solutions of this model.Comment: 12 Pages, RevTex, few minor changes have been made, to appear in Physics Letters

A discrete phi^4 system without Peierls-Nabarro barrier

A discrete phi^4 system is proposed which preserves the topological lower bound on the kink energy. Existence of static kink solutions saturating this lower bound and occupying any position relative to the lattice is proved. Consequently, kinks of the model experience no Peierls-Nabarro barrier, and can move freely through the lattice without being pinned. Numerical simulations reveal that kink dynamics in this system is significantly less dissipative than that of the conventional discrete phi^4 system, so that even on extremely coarse lattices the kink behaves much like its continuum counterpart. It is argued, therefore, that this is a natural discretization for the purpose of numerically studying soliton dynamics in the continuum phi^4 model.Comment: 8 pages, LaTeX, 8 postscript figure

Fundamental Strings and Cosmology

We show that the velocity-dependent forces between parallel fundamental strings moving apart in a D-dimensional spacetime imply an expanding universe in (D-1)-dimensional spacetime.Comment: 7 pages, harvmac, reference adde

Degenerate Topological Vortex solutions from a generalized Abelian Higgs Model with a Chern-Simons term

We consider a generalization of the abelian Higgs model with a Chern-Simons term by modifying two terms of the usual Lagrangian. We multiply a dielectric function with the Maxwell kinetic energy term and incorporate nonminimal interaction by considering generalized covariant derivative. We show that for a particular choice of the dielectric function this model admits topological vortices satisfying Bogomol'nyi bound for which the magnetic flux is not quantized even though the energy is quantized. Furthermore, the vortex solution in each topological sector is infinitely degenerate.Comment: 13 pages (one figure not included), Revtex, IP/BBSR/93-5
