We calculate explicitly in terms of complete elliptic integrals the metric on the moduli space of tetrahedrally-symmetric, charge four, SU(2) monopoles. Using this we verify that in the asymptotic regime the metric of Gibbons and Manton is…
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 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…
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 construct multimonopole solutions containing N-1 distinct fundamental monopoles in SU(N) gauge theory. When the gauge symmetry is spontaneously broken to U(1)^{N-1}, the monopoles are all massive, and we show that the fields can be…
We construct a partial compactification of the moduli space, M_k, of SU(2) magnetic monopoles on R^3, wherein monopoles of charge k decompose into widely separated 'monopole clusters' of lower charge going off to infinity at comparable…
Exact $SU(2)\times U(1)$ self-gravitating BPS global monopoles in four dimensions are constructed by dimensional reduction of eight dimensional metrics with $G_2$ holonomy asymptotic to cones over $S^3\times S^3$. The solutions carry two…
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 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…
We study the asymptotics of the natural $L^2$ metric on the Hitchin moduli space with group $G = \mathrm{SU}(2)$. Our main result, which addresses a detailed conjectural picture made by Gaiotto, Neitzke and Moore \cite{gmn13}, is that on…
We study the formation of monopoles and strings in a model where SU(3) is spontaneously broken to U(2)=[SU(2)\times U(1)]/\ZZ_2, and then to U(1). The first symmetry breaking generates monopoles with both SU(2) and U(1) charges since the…
Some aspects of the fields of charge two SU(3) monopoles with minimal symmetry breaking are discussed. A certain class of solutions look like SU(2) monopoles embedded in SU(3) with a transition region or ``cloud'' surrounding the monopoles.…
The Lagrangian for the motion of $n$ well-separated BPS monopoles is calculated, by treating the monopoles as point particles with magnetic, electric and scalar charges. It can be reinterpreted as the Lagrangian for geodesic motion on the…
We reveal a dynamical SU(2) symmetry in the asymptotic description of supersymmetric matrix models. We also consider a recursive approach for determining the ground state, and point out some additional properties of the model(s).
Recently Jarvis has proved a correspondence between SU(N) monopoles and rational maps of the Riemann sphere into flag manifolds. Furthermore, he has outlined a construction to obtain the monopole fields from the rational map. In this paper…
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 consider 4d $\mathcal{N}=1$ supergravity theories with modular symmetry, where the modulus $\tau$ is the upper half-plane modulo $SL(2,\mathbf{Z})$ action. We focus on enhanced discrete gauge symmetry points $\tau=i, \exp(2\pi i/3)$, and…
Relative moduli spaces of periodic monopoles provide novel examples of Asymptotically Locally Flat hyperkahler manifolds. By considering the interactions between well-separated periodic monopoles, we infer the asymptotic behavior of their…
We use the HyperK\"{a}hler quotient of flat space to obtain some monopole moduli space metrics in explicit form. Using this new description, we discuss their topology, completeness and isometries. We construct the moduli space metrics in…
We show that many hyperbolic monopoles can be distinguished from each other via their asymptotic values in contrast to the case of Euclidean monopoles.
