The metric on the moduli space of SU(2) charge four BPS monopoles with tetrahedral symmetry is calculated using numerical methods. In the asymptotic region, in which the four monopoles are located on the vertices of a large tetrahedron, the…
We compute the asymptotic metrics for moduli spaces of SU(N) monopoles with maximal symmetry breaking. These metrics are exponentially close to the exact monopole metric as soon as, for each simple root, the individual monopoles…
We show that, in the region where monopoles are well separated, the L^2-metric on the moduli space of n-monopoles is exponentially close to the T^n-invariant hyperk\"ahler metric proposed by Gibbons and Manton. The proof is based on a…
We define and study certain hyperkaehler manifolds which capture the asymptotic behaviour of the SU(2)-monopole metric in regions where monopoles break down into monopoles of lower charges. The rate at which these new metrics approximate…
We study the moduli space for an arbitrary number of BPS monopoles in a gauge theory with an arbitrary gauge group that is maximally broken to $U(1)^k$. From the low energy dynamics of well-separated dyons we infer the asymptotic form of…

Recently K. Lee, E.J. Weinberg and P. Yi in CU-TP-739, hep-th/9602167, calculated the asymptotic metric on the moduli space of (1, 1, ..., 1) BPS monopoles and conjectured that it was globally exact. I lend support to this conjecture by…
We describe compactifications of the moduli spaces of SU(2) monopoles on R3 as manifolds with corners, with respect to which the hyperKaehler metrics admit asymptotic expansions up to each boundary face. The boundary faces encode monopoles…
We discuss the ADHMN construction for SU(N) monopoles and show that a particular simplification arises in studying charge N-1 monopoles with minimal symmetry breaking. Using this we construct families of tetrahedrally symmetric SU(4) and…
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…
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…
