Abstract

Using a numerical implementation of the ADHMN construction, we compute the fields and energy densities of a charge three monopole with tetrahedral symmetry and a charge four monopole with octahedral symmetry. We then construct a one parameter family of spectral curves and Nahm data which represent charge four monopoles with tetrahedral symmetry, which includes the monopole with octahedral symmetry as a special case. In the moduli space approximation, this family describes a novel kind of four monopole scattering and we use our numerical scheme to construct the energy density at various times during the motion.
