Platonic Sphalerons in the Presence of a Dilaton Field
arXiv:hep-th/0410238 · doi:10.1016/j.physletb.2004.11.009
Abstract
We construct sphaleron solutions with discrete symmetries in Yang-Mills-Higgs theory coupled to a dilaton. Related to rational maps of degree N, these platonic sphalerons can be assigned a Chern-Simons number Q=N/2. We present sphaleron solutions with degree N=1-4, possessing spherical, axial, tetrahedral and cubic symmetry. For all these sphalerons two branches of solutions exist, which bifurcate at a maximal value of the dilaton coupling constant.
