1305.2640 (Andre Fuzfa et al.)

Brout-Englert-Higgs Monopoles    [PDF]

Andre Fuzfa, Massimiliano Rinaldi, Sandrine Schlogel
When the Brout-Englert-Higgs field is non-minimally coupled to gravity, there exists a family of spherically symmetric particle-like solutions to the field equations. These monopoles are the only globally regular, asymptotically flat distributions with finite energy of the Higgs field around compact objects. Moreover, spontaneous scalarization is strongly amplified for specific values of their mass and compactness.
