Onset of magnetic monopole-antimonopole condensation (Q2396980)

Summary: We determine the critical strength of the effective electric coupling for the onset of Bose condensation of stable magnetic monopoles and antimonopoles in \(\mathrm{SU}(2)\) Yang-Mills thermodynamics. Two scenarios are considered: infinitely fast and infinitely slow downward approaches of the critical temperature. Our results support the claim that the first lepton family and the weak interactions emerge from pure \(\mathrm{SU}(2)\) gauge dynamics of scale \(\sim 0.5\) MeV.
