Sphaleron of a 4 dimensional SO(4) Higgs model
B. Kleihaus, D. H. Tchrakian, F. Zimmerschied
We construct the finite energy path between topologically distinct vacua of a 4 dimensional SO(4) Higgs model which is known to support an instanton, and show that there is a sphal…
Monopole-Skyrmions
B. Kleihaus, D. H. Tchrakian, F. Zimmerschied
A systematic numerical study of the classical solutions to the combined system consisting of the Georgi-Glashow model and the SO(3) gauged Skyrme model is presented. The gauging of…
d dimensional SO(d)-Higgs Models with Instanton and Sphaleron: d=2,3
B. Kleihaus, D. H. Tchrakian, F. Zimmerschied
The Abelian Higgs model and the Georgi-Glashow model in 2 and 3 Euclidean dimensions respectively, support both finite size instantons and sphalerons. The instantons are the famili…
