Monopole fission
Paul Sutcliffe
There is a 4N-dimensional moduli space of SU(2) BPS monopoles with charge N, but introducing a Higgs potential removes this degeneracy and yields a repulsive force between monopole…
Rational Skyrmions
Derek Harland, Paul Sutcliffe
A new method is introduced to construct approximations to Skyrmions that are explicit rational functions of the spatial Cartesian coordinates. The scheme uses ADHM data of a Yang-M…
Q-lump scattering
Paul Sutcliffe
Q-lumps are spinning planar topological solitons with stationary solutions that satisfy first-order Bogomolny equations. Q-lump scattering has previously been studied only in the c…
A Skyrme Model with Novel Chiral Symmetry Breaking
Paul Sutcliffe
An extension of the Skyrme model is presented in which derivative terms are added that break chiral symmetry to isospin symmetry. The theory contains just one new parameter and it…
A hyperbolic analogue of the Atiyah-Hitchin manifold
Paul Sutcliffe
The Atiyah-Hitchin manifold is the moduli space of parity inversion symmetric charge two SU(2) monopoles in Euclidean space. Here a hyperbolic analogue is presented, by calculating…
Boundary metrics on soliton moduli spaces
Paul Sutcliffe
The geodesic approximation is a powerful method for studying the dynamics of BPS solitons. However, there are systems, such as BPS monopoles in three-dimensional hyperbolic space,…
