Solitons in Non-Abelian Born-Infeld Theory
Abstract
Born-Infeld generalization of the Yang-Mills action suggested by the superstring theory gives rise to modification of previously known as well as to some new classical soliton solutions. Earlier it was shown that within the model with the usual trace over the group generators classical glueballs exist which form an infinite sequence similar to the Bartnik-McKinnon family of the Einstein-Yang-Mills solutions. Here we give the generalization of this result to the 'realistic' model with the symmetrized trace and show the existence of excited monopoles (in presence of triplet Higgs) which can be regarded as a non-linear superposition of monopoles and sphalerons.
