Monopole



 
  Monopole may refer to:

  • Magnetic monopole
    Magnetic monopole

    In physics, a magnetic monopole is a hypothetical particle that is a magnet with only one magnetic pole . In more technical terms, it would have a net "magnetic charge"....
    , or Dirac monopole, a hypothetical particle that may be loosely described as a magnet with only one pole
  • Wu-Yang monopole
    Wu-Yang monopole

    The Wu-Yang monopole was the first solution, found in 1968 by Tai Tsun Wu and Chen Ning Yang, to the Yang-Mills field equations. It describes a magnetic monopole which is pointlike and has a potential which behaves like 1/r everywhere....
    , a monopole solution of Yang-Mills equations
  • 't Hooft-Polyakov monopole
    't Hooft-Polyakov monopole

    In theoretical physics, the t Hooft-Polyakov monopole 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 spontaneous symmetry breaking it down to a smaller group H via the Higgs mechanism....
    , analogous to Dirac monopole, but without singularities
  • Seiberg-Witten monopole, a solution of the Seiberg-Witten equations
  • Monopole (mathematics)
    Monopole (mathematics)

    In mathematics, a monopole is a Connection over a principal bundle G with a section of the associated adjoint bundle. The connection and Higgs field should satisfy the Bogomolnyi equation and be of finite action....
    , a connection over a principal bundle G with a section (the Higgs field) of the associated adjoint bundle
  • Monopole (wine)
    Monopole (wine)

    A monopole is an area controlled by a single winery, and can be as small as a lieu-dit or as large as an entire appellation d'origine contr?l?e....
    , an appellation owned by only one winery
  • Monopole antenna
    Monopole antenna

    A monopole antenna is a type of radio antenna formed by replacing one half of a dipole antenna with a ground plane at right-angles to the remaining half....
    , a radio antenna that replaces half of a dipole antenna with a ground plane at right-angles to the remaining half
  • A monopole, a common term for a tubular self-supporting telecommunications mast
    Radio masts and towers

    Radio masts and towers are, typically, tall structures designed to support antenna s for telecommunications and broadcasting, including television....
    , especially as distinguished from a lattice tower or pylon
