Cho decomposition, Abelian gauge fixing and monopoles in G(2) Yang-Mills theory
Abstract
By extending the Cho decomposition method to G(2) gauge group, monopoles of this group are studied. Since SU(2) and SU(3) are subgroups of G(2), discussions are done mostly based on these subgroups of G(2). A direct relation between root vectors of G(2) and the associated magnetic charges is presented by group theoretical issues. In addition, G(2) monopoles are obtained by an Abelian gauge fixing method, and it is shown that the results agree with the ones we obtain by the Cho decomposition method.
