Some problems when calculating the quantum corrections to the classical 't Hooft-Polyakov monopole
Nathan F. Lepora
We examine whether the analysis of quantum corrections for the kink soliton carries over to the 't Hooft-Polyakov monopole. For the kink, it is central that the quantum fluctuation…
Vacuum Geometry
Nathan. F. Lepora
We analyse symmetry breaking in general gauge theories paying particular attention to the underlying geometry of the theory. In this context we find two natural metrics upon the va…
Electroweak Vacuum Geometry
Nathan F. Lepora, T. W. B. Kibble
We analyse symmetry breaking in the Weinberg-Salam model paying particular attention to the underlying geometry of the theory. In this context we find two natural metrics upon the…
Classifying Vortex Solutions to Gauge Theories
Nathan F. Lepora, T. W. B. Kibble
We classify the spectrum, family structure and stability of Nielsen-Olesen vortices embedded in a larger gauge group when the vacuum manifold is related to a symmetric space.
EMBEDDED DEFECTS AND SYMMETRY BREAKING IN FLIPPED
Anne-Christine Davis, Nathan F. Lepora
We explicitly show the analogy between the symmetry breaking scheme for the GUT flipped with that of the Weinberg-Salam theory of electroweak interactions. This allows us t…
