Towards the core of the quantum monopole

Description

We study monopole solutions of the quantum exact low-energy effective N=2 super Yang-Mills theories of Seiberg and Witten. We find a first-order differential equation for the spatial dependence of the moduli and show that it can be interpreted as an attractor equation. Numerically integrating this equation, we try to address the question of what happens when one approaches the quantum core of the monopole where the low-energy effective theory breaks down or, alternatively, where there are modified monopole solutions that do not have a strongly coupled quantum core so that one may trust the solution not only asymptotically.
