POTENTIAL OF INTERACTION BETWEEN NON-ABELIAN CHARGES IN THE YANG-MILLS-HIGGS MODEL

The problem of two nonrelativistic chromoelectric and chromomagnetic c harges in a Higgs vacuum is considered in classical field theory. An a pproximation of the interaction potential is constructed on the basis of a numerical solution to the equations of gluostatics. The concept o f a non-Abelian Abrikosov vortex is discussed. It is shown that the re sults of Ginzburg-Landau theory for the tension of a string between ma gnetic charges can be directly extended to the non-Abelian case.
