Topological symmetry breaking and the confinement of anyons
P. W. Irwin, M. B. Paranjape
We study topological symmetry breaking via the behaviour of Wilson and 't Hooft loop operators for the 2+1 dimenesional Abelian-Higgs model with Chern-Simons term. The topological…
Radiation from SU(3) monopole scattering
Patrick Irwin
The energy radiated during the scattering of SU(3) monopoles is estimated as a function of their asymptotic velocity v. In a typical scattering process the total energy radiated is…
Two monopoles of one type and one of another
Conor Houghton, Patrick Irwin, A. J. Mountain
The metric on the moduli space of charge (2,1) SU(3) Bogomolny-Prasad-Sommerfield monopoles is calculated and investigated. The hyperKahler quotient construction is used to provide…
Zero mode quantization of multi-Skyrmions
Patrick Irwin
A zero mode quantization of the minimal energy SU(2) Skyrmions for nucleon numbers four to nine and seventeen is described. This involves quantizing the rotational and isorotationa…
SU(3) monopoles and their fields
Patrick Irwin
Some aspects of the fields of charge two SU(3) monopoles with minimal symmetry breaking are discussed. A certain class of solutions look like SU(2) monopoles embedded in SU(3) with…
