摘要
We consider phases of spontaneously broken gauge theories in which different types of topological excitations, like flux tubes, monopoles etc., coexist. We analyze the topological relations which exist between the charges, and give a description of the admissible core deformations in terms of certain cohomology groups that occur in obstruction theory. Simple examples are worked out in detail.
