We show that any $SU(2)$ BPS monopole of charge $k$ with rotational spatial dihedral symmetry is gauge equivalent to the Nahm data obtained from affine Toda equations of $C_l^{(1)}$ type when $k=2l$ or $A_{2(l-1)}^{(2)}$ type when $k=2l-1$.
Monopoles are solutions of an SU(2) gauge theory in $\mathbb{R}^{3}$ satisfying a lower bound for energy and certain asymptotic conditions, which translate as topological properties encoded in their charge. Using methods from integrable…
We discuss $SU(2)$ Bogomolny monopoles of arbitrary charge $k$ invariant under various symmetry groups. The analysis is largely in terms of the spectral curves, the rational maps, and the Nahm equations associated with monopoles. We…
It is known that hyperbolic monopoles, with a particular value of the curvature, can be obtained from ADHM instanton data that satisfies additional constraints. Here this data is reformulated in terms of a triplet of real matrices that…
We determine the spectral curve of charge 3 BPS su(2) monopoles with C_3 cyclic symmetry. The symmetry means that the genus 4 spectral curve covers a (Toda) spectral curve of genus 2. A well adapted homology basis is presented enabling the…
A general analytic spherically symmetric solution of the Bogomol'nyi equations is found. It depends on two constants and one arbitrary function on radius and contains the Bogomol'nyi-Prasad-Sommerfield and Singleton solutions as particular…
We study the Yang-Mills-Higgs system within the framework of general relativity. In the static situation, using Bogomol'nyi type analysis, we derive a positive-definite energy functional which has a lower bound. Specializing to the gauge…
The equation of motion of affine Toda field theory is a coupled equation for $r$ fields, $r$ is the rank of the underlying Lie algebra. Most of the theories admit reduction, in which the equation is satisfied by fewer than $r$ fields. The…
We present new static axially symmetric solutions of SU(2) Yang-Mills-Higgs theory, representing chains of monopoles and antimonopoles in static equilibrium. They correspond to saddlepoints of the energy functional and exist both in the…
Our approach to define monopoles is twistorial and we start by developing the twistor theory of R^5, which is an analogue of the twistor theory for R^3 developed by Hitchin. Using this, we describe a Hitchin-Ward transform for R^5, that…
Most nonabelian gauge theories admit the existence of conserved and quantized topological charges as generalizations of the Dirac monopole. Their interactions are dictated by topology. In this paper, previous work in deriving classical…
Using a contraction procedure, we obtain Toda theories and their structures, from affine Toda theories and their corresponding structures. By structures, we mean the equation of motion, the classical Lax pair, the boundary term for half…
The discrete Nahm equations, a system of matrix valued difference equations, arose in the work of Braam and Austin on half-integral mass hyperbolic monopoles. We show that the discrete Nahm equations are completely integrable in a natural…
The Nahm data of periodic instantons, often called calorons, with spatial $C_N$-symmetries are considered, by applying Sutcliffe's ansatz for the monopoles with $C_N$-symmetries. The bulk data of calorons are shown to enjoy the periodic…
We classify all possible charge-3 monopole spectral curves with non-trivial automorphism group and within these identify those with elliptic quotients. By focussing on elliptic quotients the transcendental constraints for a monopole…
We would like to present some exact SU(2) Yang-Mills-Higgs monopole solutions of half-integer topological charge. These solutions can be just an isolated half-monopole or a multimonopole with topological magnetic charge, ${1/2}m$, where $m$…
We show that the Higgs and gauge fields for a BPS monopole may be constructed directly from the spectral curve without having to solve the gauge constraint needed to obtain the Nahm data. The result is the analogue of the instanton result:…
We consider monopoles with singularities of Dirac type on quasiregular Sasakian three-folds fibering over a compact Riemann surface $\Sigma$, for example the Hopf fibration $S^3\longrightarrow S^2$. We show that these correspond to…
We develop the Atiyah-Drinfeld-Manin-Hitchin-Nahm construction to study SU(2) non-abelian charge 3 monopoles within the algebro-geometric method. The method starts with finding an algebraic curve, the monopole spectral curve, subject to…
A cross between two well-known integrable multi-particle dynamics, an affine Toda molecule and a Sutherland system, is introduced for any affine root system. Though it is not completely integrable but partially integrable, or quasi exactly…
