About: Topological excitations

An Entity of Type: Thing, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

Topological excitations are certain features of classical solutions of gauge field theories. Namely, a gauge field theory on a manifold with a gauge group may possess classical solutions with a (quantized) topological invariant called topological charge. The term topological excitation especially refers to a situation when the topological charge is an integral of a localized quantity. Examples: 1) , , the topological charge is called magnetic flux. 2) , , the topological charge is called magnetic charge.

  • Topological excitations are certain features of classical solutions of gauge field theories. Namely, a gauge field theory on a manifold with a gauge group may possess classical solutions with a (quantized) topological invariant called topological charge. The term topological excitation especially refers to a situation when the topological charge is an integral of a localized quantity. Examples: 1) , , the topological charge is called magnetic flux. 2) , , the topological charge is called magnetic charge. The concept of a topological excitation is almost synonymous with that of a topological defect. (en)
