Anisotopic inflation with a non-abelian gauge field in Gauss-Bonnet gravity

Journal Article Lahiri, Sayantani - Journal of Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics

In presence of Gauss-Bonnet corrections, we study anisotropic inflation aided by a massless SU(2) gauge field where both the gauge field and the Gauss-Bonnet term are non-minimally coupled to the inflaton. In this scenario, under slow-roll approximations, the anisotropic inflation is realized as an attractor solution with quadratic forms of inflaton potential and Gauss-Bonnet coupling function. We show that the degree of anisotropy is proportional to the additive combination of two slow-roll parameters of the theory. The anisotropy may become either positive or negative similar to the non-Gauss-Bonnet framework, a feature of the model for anisotropic inflation supported by amore »« less

Uniqueness and stability of monopole solutions in classical non-Abelian gauge field theories

Thesis/Dissertation Kaney, B T

The spectrum of magnetic monopoles in two different classical gauge theories is investigated, starting with the SO(3) electro-weak theory of Georgi. This theory's lowest charge, pure magnetic monopole solution has been studied extensively and is known to be unique, at least in the Prasad-Sommerfield limit and probably away from this limit as well. In the dyon case it has been conjectured that there may be other solutions beyond the one known. It is proved here that the radial functions describing the electric and magnetic fields must differ by only an overall constant, hence simplifying greatly the search for new dyons.more »« less
Gauge fields of a non-Abelian classical source

Journal Article Jacobs, L ; Wudka, J - Phys. Rev. D; (United States)

Solutions to the gauge-field equations in the presence of a classical, time-independent source are given in terms of elementary functions. Certain aspects of the linear stability of the ensuing field configurations are discussed. The physical electromagnetic fields of all our solutions are those of a magnetic monopole surrounded by an electric-dipole distribution.

Classical description of a particle interacting with a non-Abelian gauge field. [Isospin, pseudoclassical spin]

Journal Article Balachandran, A P ; Salomonson, P ; Skagerstam, B ; ... - Phys. Rev., D; (United States)

By introducing a new kind of variable we find simple Lagrangian and Hamiltonian descriptions of a classical particle interacting with an external non-Abelian gauge field. Both conventional particles and supersymmetric particles carrying pseudoclassical spin are considered. The physical interpretation of these models is discussed. The models are quantized following Dirac's procedure. Finally, the isospin representations to which the resulting quantized particles belong are investigated.
