The Geometry and Dynamics of Magnetic Monopoles / / Nigel Hitchin, Michael Francis Atiyah.
Systems governed by non-linear differential equations are of fundamental importance in all branches of science, but our understanding of them is still extremely limited. In this book a particular system, describing the interaction of magnetic monopoles, is investigated in detail. The use of new geom...
