has gloss | eng: t Hooft-Polyakov monopole In theoretical physics, the t Hooft–Polyakov monopole (hedgehog) is a topological soliton similar to the Dirac monopole but without any singularities. It arises in the case of a Yang–Mills theory with a gauge group G, coupled to a Higgs field which spontaneously breaks it down to a smaller group H via the Higgs mechanism. It was first found independently by Gerard 't Hooft and Alexander Polyakov . |
