    Nonminimal Wu-Yang wormhole

    No full text
    We discuss exact solutions of a three-parameter nonminimal Einstein-Yang-Mills model, which describe the wormholes of a new type. These wormholes are considered to be supported by the SU(2)-symmetric Yang-Mills field, nonminimally coupled to gravity, the Wu-Yang ansatz for the gauge field being used. We distinguish between regular solutions, describing traversable nonminimal Wu-Yang wormholes, and black wormholes possessing one or two event horizons. The relation between the asymptotic mass of the regular traversable Wu-Yang wormhole and its throat radius is analyzed. © 2007 The American Physical Society

    We generalise the definition of a Wu-Yang field in R^3, to the generic case in R_d, with the exceptions of d = 2, 4

    We display continuous families of SU(2) vector potentials Aia(x)A_i^a(x) in 3 space dimensions which generate the same magnetic field Bai(x)B^{ai}(x) (with det B0B\neq 0). These Wu-Yang families are obtained from the Einstein equation Rij=2GijR_{ij}=-2G_{ij} derived recently via a local map of the gauge field system into a spatial geometry with 22-tensor Gij=BaiBajdetBG_{ij}=B^a{}_i B^a{}_j\det B and connection Γjki\Gamma_{jk}^i with torsion defined from gauge covariant derivatives of BB.We display continuous families of SU(2) vector potentials Ai a(x)A_i~a(x) in 3 space dimensions which generate the same magnetic field B ai(x)B~{ai}(x) (with det B0B\neq 0).

    Non-minimal Wu–Yang monopole

    Full text link
    AbstractWe discuss new exact spherically symmetric static solutions to non-minimally extended Einstein–Yang–Mills equations. The obtained solution to the Yang–Mills subsystem is interpreted as a non-minimal Wu–Yang monopole solution. We focus on the analysis of two classes of the exact solutions to the gravitational field equations. Solutions of the first class belong to the Reissner–Nordström type, i.e., they are characterized by horizons and by the singularity at the point of origin. The solutions of the second class are regular ones. The horizons and singularities of a new type, the non-minimal ones, are indicated

    In two recent papers Gonuguntla and Singleton claim that the Wu-Yang fiber bundle approach does not lead to to a consistent model for magnetic charge. We point out that this claim is false.Comment: 2 pages, no figure

    Isopin-dependent o(4,2) symmetry of self-dual Wu-Yang monopoles

    Full text link
    A spinless particle in an SU(2) self-dual Wu-Yang monopole field is shown to admit an o(4,2) dynamical symmetry with isospin dependent generators found previously by Barut and Bornzin. This same symmetry arises for a spinless particle with anomalous charge studied by D’Hoker and Vinet, which we relate to a (spinless) ‘nucleon’ in the self-dual Wu-Yang monopole’s field

    Several examples are given of continuous families of SU(2) vector potentials Aia(x)A_i^a(x) in 3 space dimensions which generate the same magnetic field Bai(x)B^{ai}(x) (with det B0B\neq 0). These Wu-Yang families are obtained from the Einstein equation Rij=2GijR_{ij}=-2G_{ij} derived recently via a local map of the gauge field system into a spatial geometry with 22-tensor Gij=BaiBajdetBG_{ij}=B^a{}_i B^a{}_j\det B and connection Γjki\Gamma_{jk}^i with torsion defined from gauge covariant derivatives of BB.Several examples are given of continuous families of SU(2) vector potentials Ai a(x)A_i~a(x) in 3 space dimensions which generate the same magnetic field B ai(x)B~{ai}(x) (with det B0B\neq 0).
