Magnetic Monopoles with an Internal Degree of Freedom
Abstract We consider a class of spontaneously broken $SU(2)$ gauge theories with an adjoint scalar and look for exact magnetic monopole solutions in the Bogomol’nyi–Prasad–Sommerfield (BPS) limit. We find that some of the resulting solutions exhibit a new internal degree of freedom (a moduli space parameter) that controls the energy density profile of the monopole while keeping the total energy (mass) constant.
