Construction of spherically symmetric monopoles using the Atiyah-Drinfeld-Hitchin-Manin-Nahm formalism

Abstract
Nahm's equations are solved for the cases corresponding to the spherically symmetric SU(N) monopoles of Wilkinson and Bais and their solutions reconstructed using his adaptation of the Atiyah-Drinfeld-Hitchin-Manin construction for self-dual gauge fields. The analysis of this class of solutions reveals the remarkably intricate structure of the construction.
