Bogomolny equations and conformal transformations in curved space
arXiv:0909.0346 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevD.80.127703
Abstract
The coupling of the Higgs field through the Ricci tensor, put forward by Balakrishna and Wali, is derived using a conformal rescaling of the metric. Earlier results on "Bogomolny-type" equations in curved space, by Comtet, and others, are recovered. The procedure can be generalized to any static background metric.
