Scalar–vector instantons in n dimensions: Surface terms

TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that the equations of motion for a non-Abelian gauge field coupled to a scalar field possess no regular, finite-action solutions in n-dimensional Euclidean space except for n = 4, with Φ trivial, and for n < 4.

Nonexistence of finite-energy solutions in some gauge models

TL;DR: In this article, a theorem which forbids the existence of certain nontrivial static finite-energy classical solutions to Yang-Mills-Higgs equations in dependence on the spatial dimension is generalized to include fields with nonvanishing electric-like components.

Magnetic monopoles in unified gauge theories

TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that in all those gauge theories in which the electromagnetic group U(1) is taken to be a subgroup of a larger group with a compact covering group, like SU(2) or SU(3), genuine magnetic monopoles can be created as regular solutions of the field equations.

Pseudoparticle Solutions of the Yang-Mills Equations

TL;DR: In this article, the authors find regular solutions of the four dimensional euclidean Yang-Mills equations and show that these solutions minimize locally the action integrals, which is finite in this case.

Vortex Line Models for Dual Strings

TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that a Higgs type of Lagrangian allows for vortex-line solutions, in analogy with the vortex lines in a type II superconductor.

A new improved energy-momentum tensor

TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that the matrix elements of the symmetric energy-momentum tensor are cut-off dependent in renormalized perturbation theory for most renormalizable field theories.
