Monopoles from Rational Maps
arXiv:hep-th/9905066 · doi:10.1016/S0370-2693(99)00531-6
Abstract
The moduli space of charge k SU(2) BPS monopoles is diffeomorphic to the moduli space of degree k rational maps between Riemann spheres. In this note we describe a numerical algorithm to compute the monopole fields and energy density from the rational map. The results for some symmetric examples are presented.
