A differential relation between the energy and electric charge of a dyon

Abstract

The differential relation between the energy and electric charge of a dyon is derived. The relation expresses the derivative of the energy with respect to the electric charge in terms of the boundary value for the temporal component of the dyon's electromagnetic potential. The use of the Hamiltonian formalism and transition to the unitary gauge make it possible to show that this derivative is proportional to the phase frequency of the electrically charged massive gauge fields forming the dyon's core. It follows from the differential relation that the energy and electric charge of the non-BPS dyon cannot be arbitrarily large. Finally, the dyon's properties are investigated numerically at different values of the model parameters.
