The relationship between a topological Yang-Mills field and a magnetic monopole

Nobuyuki Fukui, Kei-Ichi Kondo, Akihiro Shibata +1

We show that a Jackiw-Nohl-Rebbi solution, as the most general two-instanton, generates a circular loop of magnetic monopole in four-dimensional Euclidean SU(2) Yang-Mills theory.
