Accounting for monopole configurations in Yang-Mills theory in three Euclidean dimensions

Indrajit Mitra, H. S. Sharatchandra

A gauge transformation provided by the three eigenfunctions of $\B^a(x) \cdot \B^b(x)$ (where $\B^a(x)$, with a=1,2,3, are the non-Abelian magnetic fields) exposes the topological…
