Abstract

We summarise the procedure used to find the classical masses of Higgs particle, massive gauge boson and t’Hooft-Polyakov monopole in non-Hermitian gauge field theory. Their physical regions are explored, and the mechanism of the real value of the monopole solution is analysed in different physical regions.
