Magnetic monopoles and asymptotic hyperkähler metrics
Abstract:
The dynamics of magnetic monopoles in the SU(2) Yang-Mills-Higgs theory
can be approximated by the geodesic motion in a natural hyperkähler metric
on the monopole moduli space. I will discuss the asymptotic behaviour of
this metric and argue that such a behaviour is common for a large class of
hyperkähler metrics obtained via so-called generalised Legendre transform.
