Onset of Magnetic Monopole-Antimonopole Condensation

الملخص EN

We determine the critical strength of the effective electric coupling for the onset of Bose condensation of stable magnetic monopoles and antimonopoles in SU(2) Yang-Mills thermodynamics.

Two scenarios are considered: infinitely fast and infinitely slow downward approaches of the critical temperature.

Our results support the claim that the first lepton family and the weak interactions emerge from pure SU(2) gauge dynamics of scale ∼0.5 MeV.
