Finite-action solutions of higher-order yang-mills-higgs theory in four dimensions

  • Published:
Il Nuovo Cimento A (1965-1970)

Summary

We study (generalized) Yang-Mills-Higgs theories with higher-order terms. We present topologically nontrivial finite-action solutions in a mini-model and discuss a more relevant model later. Although the ansatz we choose is notSO 4 symmetric, it leads toSO 4-invariant action densities and is compatible with the equations of motion for a wide class of models.

Riassunto

Si studiano teorie (generalizzate) di Yang-Mills-Higgs con termini di ordine superiore. Si presentano soluzioni di azione finita topologicamente non banali in un minimodello e si discute poi un modello piú rilevante. Sebbene l’ansatz che scegliamo non è simmetrico perSO 4, porta a densità di azione invarianti perSO 4 ed è compatibile con le equazioni di moto per un’ampia classe di modelli.
