Relation between electric charge and gauge parameter of the moduli space of monopoles

I am studying about the moduli space of a 2 monopole system from Harvey's notes, and Manton's paper. In both of these, (Harvey section 6.2), after constructing the Lagrangian for a two dyons system, ...

Using the covariant derivative to find force between 't Hooft-Polyakov magnetic monopoles

I am reading this research paper authored by NS Manton on the Force between 't Hooft-Polyakov monopoles. I have a doubt in equation 3.6 and 3.7. We assume the gauge field for a slowly accelerating ...

Limit of the scalar field, and potential for a soliton ( finite energy, non dissipative) solution

I want to prove that the the scalar field of the yang-mills lagrangian tends to some constant value which is a function of theta at infinity and that this value is a zero of the potential, when we ...

What is the winding number of a magnetic monopole, and why is it conserved

I had asked a similar question about a calculation involving the winding number here. But i haven't got a satisfactory response. So, I am rephrasing this question in a slightly different manner. What ...
