Are There BPS Dyons in The Generalized $SU(2)$ Yang-Mills-Higgs Model?

Abstract

We use the well-known Bogomolny's equations, in general coordinate system, for BPS monopoles and dyons in the $SU(2)$ Yang-Mills-Higgs model to obtain an explicit form of BPS Lagrangian density under the BPS Lagrangian method. We then generalize this BPS Lagrangian density and use it to derive several possible generalized Bogomolny's equations, with(out) additional constraint equations, for BPS monopoles and dyons in the generalized $SU(2)$ Yang-Mills-Higgs model. We also compute the stress-energy-momentum tensor of the generalized model, and argue that the BPS monopole and dyon solutions are stable if all components of the stress-tensor density are zero in the BPS limit. This stability requirement implies the scalar fields-dependent couplings to be related to each other by an equation, which is different from the one obtained in~\cite{Atmaja:2018cod}, and then picks particular generalized Bogomolny's equations, with no additional constraint equation, out of those possible equations. We show that the computations in~\cite{Atmaja:2018cod} are actually incomplete. Under the Julia-Zee ansatz, the generalized Bogomolny's equations imply all scalar fields-dependent couplings must be constants, whose solutions are the BPS dyons of the $SU(2)$ Yang-Mills-Higgs model~\cite{Prasad:1975kr}, or in another words there are no generalized BPS dyon solutions under the Julia-Zee ansatz. We propose two possible ways for obtaining generalized BPS dyons, where at least one of the scalar fields-dependent couplings is not constant, that are by using different ansatze, such as axially symmetric ansatz for higher topological charge dyons; and/or by considering the most general BPS Lagrangian density.

Gaillard-Zumino non-invertible symmetries

We uncover an infinite class of novel zero-form non-invertible symmetries in a broad family of four-dimensional models, studied years ago by Gaillard and Zumino (GZ), which includes several extended supergravities as particular subcases. The GZ models consist of abelian gauge fields coupled to a neutral sector, typically including a set of scalars, whose equations of motion are classically invariant under a continuous group $\mathscr{G}$ acting on the electric and magnetic field strengths via symplectic transformations. The standard lore holds that, at the quantum level, these symmetries are broken to an integral subgroup $\mathscr{G}_\mathbb{Z}$. We show that, in fact, a much larger subgroup $\mathscr{G}_\mathbb{Q}$ survives, albeit through non-invertible topological defects. We explicitly construct these defects and compute some of their fusion rules. As illustrative examples, we consider the axion-dilaton-Maxwell model and the bosonic sector of a class of $\mathcal{N}=2$ supergravities of the kind that appear in type II Calabi-Yau compactifications. Finally, we comment on how (part of) these non-invertible zero-form symmetries can be broken by gauging the $\mathscr{G}_\mathbb{Z}$ subgroup of invertible symmetries.

On the resolution of categorical symmetries in (Non-) Unitary Rational CFTs

We explore several aspects of categorical symmetry-resolved entanglement entropy (SREE) directly within two-dimensional rational conformal field theory (RCFT) (without invoking any SymTFT construction arXiv:2409.02806). We derive a general formula applicable whenever the action of the relevant topological defect lines on the annulus Hilbert space is known. This framework accommodates weakly and strongly symmetric boundaries, cloaking states, and fusion rings with multiplicities. We verify the formula in a range of diagonal unitary and non-unitary examples, including theories with generalized Haagerup-Izumi modular data. Furthermore, we extend the analysis to non-diagonal RCFTs. The $\frac{1}{2}E_6$ example demonstrates that closed-channel modular data and NIM-rep multiplicities alone do not suffice to determine the defect action on the complete open-channel Hilbert space.

Reflecting boundary conditions in critical loop models

In critical loop models, we call a boundary sticky if loops can attach to it, and reflecting otherwise. Using analytic bootstrap methods, we show that reflecting boundaries are characterised by one complex parameter, analogous to the boundary cosmological constant in Liouville theory. We determine disc 1-point functions, and write an explicit formula for disc 2-point functions as infinite combinations of conformal blocks. We also sketch the lattice interpretation of reflecting boundaries.
