Monopoles with rotational symmetry
We will first look at SU(2)-monopoles invariant under the action of a circle subgroup of SO(3) about the z-axis.The polynomials cutting out their spectral curves in TP^1 will be derived, and these will be used to describe thespectral curves of S^1-invariant SU(N)-monopoles for arbitrary N.
