Multi-monopoles and Magnetic Bags
arXiv:hep-th/0512133 · doi:10.1016/j.nuclphysb.2006.06.022
Abstract
By analogy with the multi-vortices, we show that also multi-monopoles become magnetic bags in the large n limit. This simplification allows us to compute the spectrum and the profile functions by requiring the minimization of the energy of the bag. We consider in detail the case of the magnetic bag in the limit of vanishing potential and we find that it saturates the Bogomol'nyi bound and there is an infinite set of different shapes of allowed bags. This is consistent with the existence of a moduli space of solutions for the BPS multi-monopoles. We discuss the string theory interpretation of our result and also the relation between the 't Hooft large n limit of certain supersymmetric gauge theories and the large n limit of multi-monopoles. We then consider multi-monopoles in the cosmological contest and provide a mechanism that could lead to their production.
43 pages, 21 figures. v2: I have added an important Section where I study the exact known solution of the axial symmetric multi-monopole. The results are in agreement with the magnetic bag conjecture. I have also corrected typos and improoved the presentation. v3: Added discussions about: large n limit of multi-monopoles, Jarvis ration map, 't Hooft large n limit and periodic multi-monopoles
