This Letter deals with static BPS monopoles in three dimensions which are periodic either in one direction (monopole chains) or two directions (monopole sheets). The Nahm construction of the simplest monopole chain is implemented numerically, and the... Read More about Periodic monopoles.

Planar Skyrmions: vibrational modes and dynamics (2005)
Journal Article

We study Skyrmion dynamics in a (2+1)-dimensional Skyrme model. The system contains a dimensionless parameter α, with α=0 corresponding to the O(3) sigma-model. If two Skyrmions collide head-on, then they can either coalesce or scatter—this depends o... Read More about Planar Skyrmions: vibrational modes and dynamics.
