't Hooft-Polyakov monopoles in lattice SU(N)+adjoint Higgs theory
arXiv:0906.5531 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevD.80.065030
Abstract
We investigate twisted C-periodic boundary conditions in SU(N) gauge field theory with an adjoint Higgs field. We show that with a suitable twist for even N one can impose a non-zero magnetic charge relative to residual U(1) gauge groups in the broken phase, thereby creating a 't Hooft-Polyakov magnetic monopole. This makes it possible to use lattice Monte-Carlo simulations to study the properties of these monopoles in the quantum theory.
