't Hooft tensors as Kalb-Ramond fields of generalized monopoles in all odddimensions: d=3 and d=5 - art. no. 045002

Rank d-1 antisymmetric tensor fields in d Euclidean dimensions, known as Ka lb-Ramond fields, can describe monopole-like solutions. In d=3 dimensions t his Kalb-Ramond monopole is the (singular) Dirac monopole, which in turn ca n be described by the (regular) 't Hooft-Polyakov monopole, via the 't Hoof t tensor construction. This construction is extended to arbitrary odd dimen sions by performing the d=5 case explicitly, exploiting the (regular) "mono poles" of generalized Georgi-Glashow models and identifying their 't Hooft tensors as the Kalb-Ramond fields. The relevant "magnetic charges" are expr essed as topological invariants.
