"The Many Faces of Monopoles"
In this talk, we introduce the four ways of looking at monopoles: solutions of the Bogomolny equations, Nahm data, spectral curves, and rational maps. We then discuss the relationships between these equivalent descriptions and some of the advantages and disadvantages of using them.

The University of Waterloo acknowledges that much of our work takes place on the traditional territory of the Neutral, Anishinaabeg and Haudenosaunee peoples. Our main campus is situated on the Haldimand Tract, the land granted to the Six Nations that includes six miles on each side of the Grand River. Our active work toward reconciliation takes place across our campuses through research, learning, teaching, and community building, and is centralized within our Office of Indigenous Relations.
