Multimagnetic Monopoles

Abstract

In this work we investigate the presence of magnetic monopoles that engender multimagnetic structures, which arise from an appropriate extension of the $\mathrm{SU}(2)$ gauge group. The investigation is based on a modified relativistic theory that contain several gauge and matter fields, leading to a Bogomol'nyi bound and thus to a first order framework, from which stable multimagnetic solutions can be constructed. We illustrate our findings with several examples of stable magnetic monopoles with multimagnetic properties.
