Topological charges in field theories with broken symmetry
Description
A constructive method is given for finding expressions for the topological charges of a Higgs field that correspond to the second homotopy group; they are found as integrals of forms determined by the characteristics classes of the fiber bundle over the vacuum manifold under the condition that the symmetry group is compact and semisimple
