Bows to Singular Monopoles

We will discuss an approach to constructing singular monopoles on R^3 by Sergey Cherkis. We begin with the background and the traditional approach to constructing singular monopoles via the Nahm equations. We then talk about bows and their representations, along with the resulting moduli spaces and their self-dual instantons. We apply the bow approach to construct self-dual instantons on the multi-Taub-NUT space and then exploit Kronheimer's correspondence to obtain singular monopoles.
