Classical solutions of Yang-Mills and CPn−1 models with scalar fields

  • Published:
Zeitschrift für Physik C Particles and Fields

Abstract

We present a study of classical solutions of the SU(2) Yang-Mills (YM) theory with a massless Higgs doublet, and of the CPn−1 model coupled to a scalar field. In both cases the scalar field tends to suppress instantons but not merons (this is a purely classical effect). In the YM theory a static Wu-Yang-like monopole solution with variable magnetic charge is found and its connection with the meron solution of this theory is discussed.
