Abstract
The Bogomolny equations represent static configurations of magnetic monopoles, for some non-Abelian group such as SU(2). Geodesic motion on this configuration space represents slowly moving interacting monopoles. Geometric information on this space can then be used to investigate the scattering of monopoles. The results show surprising features, including a 90° scattering and the conversion of angular momentum into electric charge.Keywords
