We review the properties of BPS, or supersymmetric, magnetic monopoles, with an
emphasis on their low-energy dynamics and their classical and quantum bound states. After …

We propose an explanation via string theory of the correspondence between the Coulomb
branch of certain three-dimensional supersymmetric gauge theories and certain moduli …

We review various aspects of classical solutions in string theories. Emphasis is placed on
their supersymmetry properties, their special roles in string dualities and microscopic …

We discuss non-trivial fixed points of the renormalization group with dual descriptions in N=
4 gauge theories in three dimensions. This new duality acts as mirror symmetry, exchanging …

Classical solutions play an important role in quantum field theory, high-energy physics and
cosmology. Real-time soliton solutions give rise to particles, such as magnetic monopoles …

We investigate the self-dual Yang-Mills gauge configurations on R 3× S 1 when the gauge
symmetry SU (2) is broken to U (1) by the Wilson loop. We construct the explicit field …

These lectures cover aspects of solitons with focus on applications to the quantum dynamics
of supersymmetric gauge theories and string theory. The lectures consist of four sections …

The density functional theory for superconductors developed in the preceding article is
applied to the calculation of superconducting properties of several elemental metals. In …

Within the framework of the full potential projector-augmented wave methodology, we
present a promising low-scaling GW implementation. It allows for quasiparticle calculations …

We study the correspondence between 11b solitonic 1-branes and monopoles in the context
of the 3-brane realization of D= 4 N= 4 super Yang-Mills theory. We show that a bound state …
