Topological excitations in statistical field theory at the upper critical dimension
Abstract We present a high-precision Monte Carlo study of the classical Heisenberg model in four dimensions. We investigate the properties of monopole-like topological excitations that are enforced in the broken-symmetry phase by imposing suitable boundary conditions. We show that the corresponding...
