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 geometrical
methods produces a reasonably clear picture of the dynamics for
slowly moving monopoles. This picture clarifies the important
notion of solitons, which has attracted much attention in recent
years. The soliton idea bridges the gap between the concepts of
"fields" and "particles," and is here explored in a fully
three-dimensional context. While the background and motivation for
the work comes from physics, the presentation is mathematical. This
book is interdisciplinary and addresses concerns of theoretical
physicists interested in elementary particles or general relativity
and mathematicians working in analysis or geometry. The interaction
between geometry and physics through non-linear partial
differential equations is now at a very exciting stage, and the
book is a contribution to this activity. Originally published in
1988. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand
technology to again make available previously out-of-print books
from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press.
These editions preserve the original texts of these important books
while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions.
The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase
access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of
books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in
1905.
